Iowa Senators Joni Ernst and Chuck Grassley recently voted against a resolution requiring the State Department to report on West Bank violence, which has included the killing of nine American citizens. The resolution was blocked, 47-51.
Speaking for the Republican caucus, Senator Steve Daines (R-Montana) asserted: “This is sadly another cynical ploy by Democrats to isolate our closest ally in the region and to turn Israel’s righteous war of self-defense into a domestic political issue.”
