Congressional staffers protest controversial bill for military assistance to Israel
Rep. Mike Lawler (R-NY) speaks to reporters from behind a Capitol Police line, calling for Congressional staffers who briefly protested the Israel Security Assistance Support Act to be fired, Washington, DC, May 16, 2024. The controversial bill would require the President and executive branch to provide military assistance to Israel, even if the Administration determines that Israel is violating the rights of Palestinians and interfering with humanitarian aid, in contravention of existing law.
