Emergency funding for Israel security and cuts to IRS budget
This act allocates nearly $20 billion in emergency military and security aid to Israel following the October 2023 attacks. The funds cover weapons procurement, defense system development, support for US diplomatic missions, and the evacuation of US citizens from the region. To offset these expenditures, the act rescinds $14.3 billion previously allocated to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS).
