Haaretz: Pro-Israel Groups Launch Campaign Against Rand Paul Over Bid to Block Military Aid

The Jewish Democratic Council of America issued a statement in opposition to Paul’s hold, saying that aid it is in the best interest of both the U.S. and Israel. “Republicans should stand with Democrats in opposing this obstructionist and damaging effort by Senator Paul, and allow the U.S.-Israel Security Assistance Authorization Act of 2018 to move forward without further delay,” the statement read.
