Rep. Katherine Clark, D-Mass., said Wednesday she will vote to eliminate U.S. aid to Israel in a 2027 appropriations bill, breaking with House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, Politico reported.

"I think that this is a cynical effort with this amendment to divide people," said Clark, the No. 2 House Democrat. "But it is also a chance to say clearly that the status quo is not acceptable.

"There is no country that should be given a blank check for military aid that is not in line with our interests and values as Americans."

The House is expected to vote Wednesday night on the amendment, sponsored by Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., which would eliminate all $3.3 billion the U.S. provides to Israel.

While the measure is unlikely to pass the Republican-controlled House or survive the Senate, many Democrats view the vote as a symbolic test of the party's position on Israel.

It comes as the U.S. and Iran have restarted their war.

Jeffries told House Democrats Tuesday he plans to oppose the measure but called for a "major reset" between the two nations.

"There are good faith reasons that will result in members voting in a variety of different ways with respect to the amendment," Jeffries wrote, declaring that because of the actions of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's government, "a major reset is necessary."

"A meaningful change in direction is needed," Jeffries added regarding the soon-to-expire 10-year memorandum of understanding that commits billions of dollars of security aid to Israel annually.
