Four House Democrats have written to US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo calling on the United States to cut assistance to Israel should it proceed to apply sovereignty over Judea and Samaria, JTA reported on Monday.

The letter was initiated by Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York, Pramila Jayapal of Washington, Rashida Tlaib of Michigan and Betty McCollum of Minnesota.

The letter to Pompeo is circulating among Democrats in a bid to add signatures.

“Should the Israeli government move forward with the planned annexation with this administration’s acquiescence, we will work to ensure non-recognition as well as pursue conditions on the $3.8 billion in U.S. military funding to Israel, including human rights conditions and withholding funds for the off-shore procurement of Israeli weapons equal to or exceeding the amount the Israeli government spends annually to fund settlements, as well as the policies and practices that sustain and enable them,” it says, according to a copy obtained by Jewish Insider.

Benjamin Netanyahu (again, after a stint in the 1990s) has been Israel's prime minister -- specifically since March 2009... [during which time] the Obama administration's courting of Iran and signing of a nuclear deal with it... Sunni radicalism in the form of ISIS, the Muslim Brotherhood, and others is another common enemy of Israel and Arab states. Added to that are Israel's ever-intensifying military activity against Iran, particularly in Syria, which Arab governments watch with approval, along with Israel's dramatically growing military, economic, technological, and diplomatic clout in general, to the point that in 2019 US News and World Report ranked it -- despite how tiny it is -- the world's eighth most powerful country... the repeatedly reelected Netanyahu is little less than a diplomatic genius, under whose tenure Israel's ties have surged not only with Arab states but also with India, China, Russia, as well as East European, African, and South American countries -- basically in every niche of the world.
