Democratic Representative Pramila Jayapal, a prominent progressive and outspoken critic of Israel, has been appointed to the House Foreign Affairs Committee.
Jayapal has consistently voted against Israel, opposed sanctions on Iran and supported ending U.S. military aid to the IDF, citing alleged human rights violations.
She has also faced criticism for denying reports of sexual assaults committed by Hamas during its October 7 attack.
Joining Jayapal on the committee is Congresswoman Sarah McBride, the first openly transgender member of Congress, known for her strong support of Israel.
