The US House of Representatives, by a significant majority, approved a set of budget-related amendments last night, focusing on domestic security and foreign policy. These amendments encompass measures such as preventing the relocation of the United States embassy from Jerusalem, delisting the "Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps" as a terrorist organization, and prohibiting any funding that aids in the formation of a Palestinian state unless it holds complete territorial control over the Gaza Strip, which is presently under the control of Hamas. Furthermore, a proposal to terminate funding for the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) was narrowly rejected by a majority of 5 votes. (Daniel Edelson, New York)
