Mr. ROSE. Mr. Speaker, I rise in support of the Israel Security Supplemental Appropriations Act and our ally Israel as it continues its fight against Hamas.

In November, less than 1 month after Hamas terrorists brutally attacked Israel, I proudly voted ``yes'' on the Israel Security Supplemental Appropriations Act, which would send $14.3 billion in emergency aid to our most loyal ally in the Middle East, Israel.

This bill is fully paid for without increasing the debt or raising taxes by offsetting the new spending with cuts to previous funding found in the so-called Inflation Reduction Act, which would hire unnecessary additional IRS agents.

Unfortunately, the Senate refused to pass this bill to provide immediate, direct, and much-needed relief for Israel. Instead, they have prioritized the funding of an army of IRS agents.

Mr. Speaker, I reiterate that I wholeheartedly stand with Israel and its fight against Hamas and for providing much-needed military assistance.
