Key pro-Israel Democrat to back war powers vote after Trump’s Iran strikes

Rep. Brad Schneider, a longtime pro-Israel Democrat, is signaling support for a war powers resolution aimed at limiting President Trump’s authority to use force in Iran.

Schneider, a senior member of the House, has emerged as one of Capitol Hill’s strongest allies of Israel and is aligning with colleagues to constrain unilateral military action in the region.

The move follows Trump’s strikes in Iran, with Schneider indicating he will back a measure to ensure executive branch actions in the Middle East receive congressional oversight.
