Democrats to remove $1B for Israel’s Iron Dome from bill to avert shutdown
| House Democrats will remove a provision originally included in a bill to keep the federal government funded through Dec. 3 and suspend the debt limit that would have allotted $1 billion to help boost Israel’s Iron Dome air defense system.
Democratic leaders are removing the provision from the bill unveiled Tuesday morning after some progressives objected, according to sources familiar with the last-minute snag. |
