Over the weekend, three members of San Antonio's congressional delegation voted against the U.S. House's $95 billion foreign aid bill, which will help fund Ukraine's war against Russia and Israel's continued ground offensive in Gaza. The bill also allocates more than $8 billion for Taiwan.
U.S. Reps. Joaquin Castro and Greg Casar said sending additional aid to Israel would further worsen the humanitarian crisis in Gaza.Over the weekend, three members of San Antonio's congressional delegation voted against the U.S. House's $95 billion foreign aid bill, which will help fund Ukraine's war against Russia and Israel's continued ground offensive in Gaza.

"We have seen how Prime Minister Netanyahu's government has used American weapons to kill indiscriminately, to force famine," Castro told Congress this weekend."Over 25,000 women and children dead, tens of thousands of missiles and bombs levied on innocent civilians. We cannot escape what we see before us every day."We've seen how Netanyahu's government has used US weapons to kill indiscriminately and create famine.
U.S. Rep. Chip Roy, a far-right Republican whose district includes a swath of San Antonio, also voted against the bill. In his case, not because he wants a ceasefire but because he's upset the U.S. allegedly hasn't done enough to close its southern border.
