On June 28, 2025, protesters gathered in Detroit to oppose potential U.S. involvement in a conflict with Iran. In a recent vote, 422 members of the House opposed an amendment to remove $500 million in military funding for Israel, part of a larger $830 billion Pentagon budget. The amendment specifically targeted the Israeli Cooperative Program, which supports Israel's missile programs. Six lawmakers voted in favor, emphasizing concerns over U.S. financial support amidst ongoing tensions in Gaza.
Nearly 99 percent of the House voted against an amendment to nix just $500 million in military funding for Israel from the towering $830 billion Pentagon budget bill.
The amendment targeted funding for the Israeli Cooperative Program, which provides Israel with funding for its missile programs separately from the $3.3 billion in military and supposed 'security' funding allocated to Israel yearly by the U.S.
