Congressman Robert Garcia Statement on Massie Amendment

WASHINGTON, D.C. - Today, Congressman Robert Garcia (CA-42) released the following statement on his vote to support an amendment to the National Security, Department of State, and Related Programs Appropriations Act, which would withhold $3.3 billion in annual Foreign Military Financing to Israel.

"Today, I am voting yes on an amendment to block $3.3 billion in American taxpayer dollars for Benjamin Netanyahu and the Israeli military.

Netanyahu, like Donald Trump, is a corrupt authoritarian who should face criminal courts-not receive billions more for weapons.

The American people want lower housing costs and more affordable groceries, not more bombs and foreign wars," said Congressman Robert Garcia.
