Back in May, a group of Members of Congress put forward the so-called \u201cBlock the Bombs Act,\u201d<\/em> legislation aimed at cutting off vital arms transfers to Israel. The bill not only seeks to restrict military support but also levels unfair and one-sided accusations against one of America\u2019s closest allies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Such legislation poses a serious risk to Israel\u2019s security at a time when the country is fighting on multiple fronts\u2014working to bring hostages home and protect its citizens from ongoing threats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since early August, momentum behind the measure has grown, with several additional lawmakers signing on as co-sponsors. Our Jewish Political Guide offers you the full list of cosponsors below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
