Washington, D.C. — Congressman Paul A. Gosar, D.D.S. (AZ-09), issued the following statement after voting in favor of H.R. 6126, the Israel Security Supplemental Appropriations Act, legislation providing $14.3 billion in weapons and equipment to Israel for much-needed military assistance.
“I stand firmly with Israel to ensure our ally in the Middle East has the necessary support to fight back and defend itself from the terrorists who attacked on October 7, killing 1,400 Israelis and 30 American citizens.
This legislation provides urgently needed resources to Israel while helping to ensure the safe return of American citizens.
Importantly, the cost of this bill is fully offset by rescinding $14.3 billion for the Internal Revenue Service made available in the phony “Inflation Reduction Act” to hire 87,000 new IRS agents to harass hard-working Americans,” concluded Congressman Gosar.
