Bipartisan US House bill seeks $2B for Israel’s Iron Dome system

US House lawmakers introduced bipartisan bill to appropriate $2 billion for Israel’s Iron Dome air-defense system, a measure that’s likely to draw wide support, Report informs via Bloomberg.

The initiative “will make sure that Israel has the resources it needs to defeat Hamas, rescue hostages, and protect innocent civilians,” Democratic Representative Brad Schneider said. The House could take up the measure even before a new speaker is selected if lawmakers authorize the current interim one, Patrick McHenry, to move legislation.
