Statement from Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre on House Republicans Politicizing National Security

Politicizing our national security interests is a nonstarter. Demanding offsets for meeting core national security needs of the United States-like supporting Israel and defending Ukraine from atrocities and Russian imperialism-would be a break with the normal, bipartisan process and could have devastating implications for our safety and alliances in the years ahead.

There is strong bipartisan agreement that humanitarian aid is critical to stopping the suffering of innocent people in Gaza, which is in our direct national security interest.
