The House of Representatives passed a bill that would prevent President Biden from withholding

weapons transfers to Israel.

As NPR's Barbara Spun explains, the bill is also aimed at highlighting divisions within the Democratic

Caucus.

Sixteen Democrats joined all but three Republicans in voting yes on the bill,

which comes after the Biden administration put a hold earlier this month on a weapon shipment of bombs to Israel, citing concerns

about a potential offensive in the crowded city of Rafa. House Republicans called the

pause a betrayal of a key US ally.

Several House Democrats who are staunchly pro-Israel

called the bill politically motivated

and said it included poison pills

to keep it partisan, including

a provision explicitly condemning the Biden administration.

The Democratic-led Senate will not bring up the bill.

The Biden administration is moving ahead with a $1 billion arms transfer to Israel.
