R · U.S. House, MO-2 · Tier 1

Tier 1, “Firmly pro-Israel”

Position

Co-chair of the House Abraham Accords Caucus since its 2022 launch (relaunched Feb 2025) and Vice Chair of the House Foreign Affairs Committee in 2023–24; after October 7 she co-led with McCaul a 17-member Republican letter demanding the State Department reclaim UNRWA funds (Jan 2024), convened the caucus’s Gaza Working Group with the ambassadors of the UAE, Bahrain and Morocco on “a stable and deradicalized Gaza” (Jul 2024), and introduced bipartisan, bicameral legislation to force a review of Qatar’s major non-NATO ally status over its sheltering of Hamas (2024). She said funding must “help Israel destroy Hamas” (Nov 2023), called Biden’s May 2024 arms pause “abandoning our strongest ally,” saying the weapons were “critical to ensuring Israel can fully dismantle Hamas,” and greeted the October 2025 ceasefire by saying Hamas “has been utterly eviscerated, a necessary action that has opened the door to lasting peace.” She voted for both Israel-only supplementals, the April 2024 package, the bill forcing delivery of the paused bomb shipment (H.R.8369), the June 2024 ICC-sanctions bill and the September 2026 anti-boycott bill, against the Greene and Massie cuts, missed H.Res.894 and the January 2025 ICC vote, and was an original cosponsor of the 2026 Replace UNRWA Act (H.R.9680); her own Israel resolution (H.Res.311, Apr 2023) passed the House, and in 2019 she co-introduced H.Res.246 opposing the BDS movement. In January 2024 she signed the Smith–Manning letter, whose signers “thoroughly reject” South Africa’s “charge of genocide” against Israel.

Why this tier

A clean 1. She is one of the House’s institutional leaders on Israel: co-chair of the Abraham Accords Caucus since 2022, author of a House-passed resolution on U.S.-Israel ties and the Accords, co-lead of the 2024 push to claw back UNRWA funds and of legislation pressuring Qatar over Hamas, and convener of the caucus’s Gaza Working Group. Her votes are zero-daylight apart from two missed roll calls, she fought the 2024 arms pause, and she called the destruction of Hamas “a necessary action” as the ceasefire took hold; beyond a caucus co-chairs’ statement welcoming the October 2025 deal’s pledge to “surge aid into Gaza,” no concern for Palestinian civilians surfaced. Her gestures toward two states are joint ones: the Abraham Accords Caucus she co-founded set as an aim “a negotiated solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict that ensures mutual recognition and guarantees that Israelis and Palestinians live side by side” (Jan 2022), and the four co-leads of a 2019 resolution aimed at BDS said in a joint statement: “A two-state solution remains the best way to justly resolve the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.” There is no real counter-case.
