A campaign office for Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was vandalized with an anti-Israel message on Sunday, July 20.
Greene's legislation would have cut off roughly $500 million in funding for Israel. Her proposed amendment, which failed on Thursday, came after Israeli Defense Forces bombed the Holy Family Catholic Church in Gaza.
"Israel bombed the Catholic Church in Gaza, and that entire population is being wiped out as they continue their aggressive war in Gaza," Greene said.
"My amendment would strike $500 million in funding for nuclear-armed Israel's missile defence system. The U.S. already provides Israel with $3.8 billion annually in foreign aid. 3.8 billion. That's a lot of money," she continued.

Pope Leo XIV expressed sadness and called for a ceasefire after the strike on the church, which is the only Catholic church in Gaza.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu later said in a statement that "stray ammunition" hit the church.

"His Holiness Pope Leo XIV was deeply saddened to learn of the loss of life and injury caused by the military attack on the Holy Family Catholic Church in Gaza, and he assures the parish priest, Father Gabriele Romanelli, and the whole parish community of his spiritual closeness," read a telegram sent by Cardinal Secretary of State Pietro Parolin on behalf of the pope.
