## Resource

A House amendment to cut Israel funding exposed a major crack in Washington’s old consensus. In this condensed Breaking Points recap, hosts Krystal Ball and Saagar Enjeti break down their conversation with Ro Khanna and Thomas Massie, who explain how a surprise floor vote, Democratic defections, and Pelosi’s yes vote put U.S. aid to Israel under a new spotlight. You’ll hear why Massie pushed amendments targeting foreign aid to Egypt, Jordan, and Israel, how Khanna frames the Gaza war as a human-rights and taxpayer issue, and why both lawmakers say the political ground is shifting on the Israel-Palestine debate. The summary also covers the role of AIPAC, accusations about lobby influence, and the procedural fight over folding funding into the NDAA.
