Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, a US representative, said on Wednesday that she will oppose any future US military aid to Israel, including for defensive systems. Her remarks on Wednesday follow reports that she pledged to oppose any future military aid to Israel during a New York City Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) forum on Tuesday evening. In 2021, she voted “present” on a supplemental military funding bill for Iron Dome. “What it does do is cut off defensive Iron Dome capacities while allowing the actual bombs killing Palestinians to continue,” she said. He did not say outright whether he would oppose future votes on Iron Dome funding.
