Iowa House backs Israel resolution amid Gaza protests
The Iowa House passed a resolution affirming support for Israel and condemning Hamas as protests erupted outside. Lawmakers cited Israel's right to self defense and opposed a cease fire, while a Cedar Rapids Democrat criticized the measure and voted no. Pro-Israel and pro-Palestine voices filled the rotunda as two Republican bills aiming to curb pro Hamas actions faced consideration.
