Jeffries picks most pro-Israel Dem for Middle East subcommittee
Jeffries just named Moskowitz - one of the most reflexively pro-Israel Democrats in Congress - as ranking member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee's Middle East subcommittee.
This is the Democratic leadership's answer to massive base fury over Gaza: pretend it doesn't exist. Don't engage it, don't grapple with it, just install someone who will spend the next two years strengthening ties with Israel while your own voters are screaming about war crimes.
It's contempt dressed up as procedure. The message is clear: your opinions don't matter, and we're putting someone in charge who will make sure nothing changes.
I’m honored to be named Ranking Member of the House Foreign Affairs Subcommittee on the Middle East and North Africa. At a moment of enormous change across the region, I’ll work to strengthen America’s relationships with Israel and our Gulf allies, expand regional peace, advance American diplomacy, and ensure our foreign policy is grounded in strength, security, and reality. I’m ready to get to work.
