                           STAND WITH ISRAEL

  (Mr. ROSE asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. ROSE. Mr. Speaker, I rise in support of the Israel Security 
Supplemental Appropriations Act and our ally Israel as it continues its 
fight against Hamas.
  In November, less than 1 month after Hamas terrorists brutally 
attacked Israel, I proudly voted ``yes'' on the Israel Security 
Supplemental Appropriations Act, which would send $14.3 billion in 
emergency aid to our most loyal ally in the Middle East, Israel.
  This bill is fully paid for without increasing the debt or raising 
taxes by offsetting the new spending with cuts to previous funding 
found in the so-called Inflation Reduction Act, which would hire 
unnecessary additional IRS agents.
  Unfortunately, the Senate refused to pass this bill to provide 
immediate, direct, and much-needed relief for Israel. Instead, they 
have prioritized the funding of an army of IRS agents.
  Mr. Speaker, I reiterate that I wholeheartedly stand with Israel and 
its fight against Hamas and for providing much-needed military 
assistance.
