Rep.-elect Don Leonard presses Hakeem Jeffries to urge vote on ending US aid to 'Israel'
Speaking to CNN’s Inside Politics Sunday, US Representative-elect Don Leonard called for an end to all US aid to "Israel", arguing that "actions that this government of Israel has taken in Gaza are a clear violation of human rights," including the Leahy Law. Leonard said, "It is time to call the question on US aid to Israel," confirming that he wants Congress to hold a vote to eliminate the assistance. He said he "didn't ask the Speaker [Hakeem Jeffries] to change his vote," but to "call the question before Congress" and allow lawmakers to "vote their conscience." Asked how Jeffries responded, Leonard said, "He told me he would study the issue."
