Conditional funding of the Israel vs Hamas war

Senate progressive's call to condition aid to Israel on a drawdown of the war in Gaza sparked a fierce backlash from pro-Israel Democrats.
Why it matters: It's the latest schism among Democrats over the war as lawmakers face enormous pressure from pro-Palestinian activists to address the growing humanitarian crisis in Gaza.
The state of play: The House passed a $14.3 billion military assistance package to Israel earlier this month, but it has languished in the Senate. Democrats, including the 13 who voted for it, railed against Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) for conditioning the aid on equivalent cuts to IRS funding.
Sanders' statement comes as a growing number of House Democrats are joining calls for a ceasefire, rather than the pauses the Biden administration has proposed. The number of Democrats calling for a ceasefire has ticked up from roughly a dozen of the most left-wing members last month to more than three dozen, including several Jewish lawmakers.

Comment;
Some Dems want a cease fire.
The Reps want to stop the corrupt Democrat Party's political weaponization of the IRS.
We should also add the condition of funding the completion of the Border Wall.
