Tier 1/2, between “Firmly pro-Israel” and “Mainstream pro-Israel”

Position

Montana Republican who took office in January 2025 and has voted for every tracked Israel measure since: the January 2025 ICC-sanctions bill — “Israel has a right to defend herself without fear of prosecution,” he said, and a global court that neither country recognizes going after Americans unchecked “will not be tolerated” — the September 2026 college anti-boycott bill and the July 2026 State Department funding bill, and against the 2025 Greene and 2026 Massie cuts. His official site carries no other statement on Israel or Gaza.

Why this tier

A 1/2. A short, zero-daylight record with no leadership on the issue: none of his 27 sponsored bills and resolutions concerns Israel, and his Israel statements defend sanctioning the ICC over the Netanyahu and Gallant warrants and, in a May 2026 interview, say he is “100 percent behind Israel”. No statement of concern for Gaza's civilians during the genocide was found.
