The White House has threatened to veto a House GOP bill seeking to unblock arm transfers to Israel, saying the legislation would undermine President Joe Biden’s ability “to execute an effective foreign policy.”

The “Israel Security Assistance Support Act,” proposed by Republican members of the House Appropriations Committee, would condemn the president’s decision to pause weapon shipments to Israel and compel the delivery of all forms of appropriated aid for Israel.
