Progressives Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib are accused of ’embracing’ Iran over Israel after voting AGAINST holding the ‘murderous regime’ responsible for launching more than 300 drones and missiles at Israel

Democratic progressives are accused of siding with Iran after voting ‘no’ on measures condemning the ‘murderous’ regime’s attacks on Israel.

Speaker Mike Johnson has placed 17 new bills on the House agenda after Iran launched more than 300 drone and missile attacks on Israel over the weekend.

They would require the US to “fully implement” sanctions on Iran and ensure there are no loopholes, limit Iranian imports, crack down on US-Iran financial transactions and restrict Chinese companies that sell oil buy from Iran, sanction.

But a handful of progressives voted against the measures tabled and passed today, including infamous “Squad” members Rep. Rashida Tlaib, Ilhan Omar and AOC.

And now they’re being criticized for their vote as Congress scrambles to get a foreign aid package across the finish line and provide support to America’s key ally.

Rep. Carlos Gimenez, R-Fla., told DailyMail.com that the Squad Democrats embrace Iran’s “murderous regime.”

“It is clear to me that the woke socialist squad has fully embraced the murderous regime in Iran – the world’s most nefarious state sponsor of terrorism and one of the most cynical violators of human rights,” he said.

Several measures were discussed and passed today, including a bill from Rep. Michelle Steel, R-Calif., that would prevent “aggression-deterrent” sanctions on Iran from expiring in 2026 on a 407-16 vote.

Another bill to ensure that humanitarian aid is not used to finance Iran-backed terrorism was overwhelmingly passed by a vote of 408 to 13.

Bhavini Patel, a more moderate Democratic candidate for Congress in Pennsylvania, denounced her main opponent, Rep. Summer Lee, D-Pa., for voting against the Humanitarian Aid Act.

She called it an “alarming – and telling – mood” from progressives in a message to X.

In another bill, the phrase “from the river to the sea,” controversially used by Tlaib, D-Mich., was labeled anti-Semitic.

GOP Whip Tom Emmer, R-Minn., voted against this particular bill.

“You cannot get more anti-Semitic than endorsing calls for the total destruction of Israel,” he said in a statement to DailyMail.com.

“Once again, the Democratic Party has consolidated its position as a pro-terrorist party.”

Several progressives, including Tlaib, have come under fire for supporting pro-Hamas propaganda and pushing for a total ceasefire in the war between Gaza and Israel.

Johnson shelved plans for Appliance Week to make room for anti-Iranian measures.

The House was expected to vote on a series of reporting measures that would conflict with the Biden administration’s regulations on home appliances such as gas stoves.

In light of the attacks, Democrats have increased pressure on Johnson to put the Senate-passed $95 billion additional funding bill, with money for Ukraine, Israel and the Indo-Pacific, on the floor of the House of Representatives.

But Johnson announced his own $95 billion foreign aid package, including separate votes for Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan.

Conservative hardliners have warned Johnson against linking any Ukrainian funding to an Israeli aid bill.

Israel considers Iran’s 350-missile attack a “declaration of war” even though it says 99 percent of the rockets have been intercepted.

The attack was in response to the Israeli drone strike in Syria that killed 12 Iranians, including two top generals.

Meanwhile chairman Biden faces mounting pressure to curb the crisis, with defense experts claiming the president has allowed the conflict to escalate Gaza to spread and that the expanding battle lines risk attracting allies, including the US.

Donald Trump last night accused Biden of “weakness and incompetence” as he railed against his election rival for failing to address the American public following Tehran’s attack, the first-ever direct attack on Israel.

IDF spokesman Peter Lerner confirmed Monday morning that there would be retaliation from Israel, saying this could mean “an attack or no attack.”

He explained that the military leadership has presented “a wide range of options” and that there are “many different scenarios” on the table.

The Israeli government will “decide on the steps forward” as early as Monday or in the coming days, Lerner told reporters.

Johnson has indicated that he wants to get foreign aid across the finish line for both Israel and Ukraine. But he has not said whether that will consist of one or more votes.

Appearing with Johnson on Friday, Trump said he was “taking a look” at aid to Ukraine but preferred it in the form of a loan rather than a direct grant.

Johnson and his top officials have discussed using the Lend-Lease Act, which would require Ukraine to return any military equipment not destroyed after a certain time period, and the REPO Act, which would seize Russian assets held in the whole world is frozen. globe for Ukraine.

But a motion to leave has been hanging over Johnson’s head since Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene launched the bid to oust him last month. The Georgia Republican is a staunch opponent of aid to Ukraine and has already threatened to target Johnson if he raises the issue.

With the razor-thin Republican majority, Johnson can only afford to lose three Republicans and keep his job.

The Senate-passed bill included both humanitarian and military aid: $61 billion for Ukraine, $14 billion for Israel in its war against Hamas and $4.83 billion to support partners in the Indo-Pacific.

Johnson suggested he would not introduce the Senate bill in the House of Representatives because adding only military aid would be more “palatable” to members.

“No American taxpayer should be tasked with keeping the nation of Ukraine’s pension system afloat.”

Any foreign aid bill would likely have to pass under a suspension of rules in the House of Representatives, meaning a two-thirds majority would be needed to pass.

The bill would lose some Democrats who would oppose further aid to Israel without humanitarian conditions. It would lose some Republicans who are outright opposed to aiding Ukraine, which could jeopardize its chances for a proposal.

But Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries insisted the bill would pass even if it were shelved — he would get enough Democratic votes.

“I believe there are enough votes to ensure that the National Security Act makes it to the legislative finish line,” Jeffries said.
