The New York lawmaker voted against an amendment by Republican #MarjorieTaylorGreene last week that sought to block $500m in Congress' annual defence spending bill for Israel's #IronDome programme.

Fellow #Democrats #RashidaTlaib and #IlhanOmar [as well as Democrats #AlGreen of Texas, #SummerLee of Pennsylvania and Republican #ThomasMassie of Kentucky - PL] had supported Taylor Greene's amendment, which eventually lost in a 422-6 vote.

In a post on X on Saturday, #OcasioCortez claimed that Greene's amendment did "nothing to cut off offensive aid to #Israel nor end the flow of #US munitions being used in #Gaza".
