Syrian Jewish leaders joined opposition activist Mouaz Moustafa in lobbying Congress to repeal the Caesar sanctions, despite sharp Israeli concerns over Syria’s new Islamist-led government.

Democrats have criticized Republicans for pushing for a $95 billion defense budget while failing to address soaring prices for gasoline, food, and other goods that voters say are their top issues.

"It is unconscionable that Jews do not enjoy the same access rights to visit and pray at their holiest site that other religions do," Rep. Tenney told the House ahead of the vote.

"It's clear that the Democratic Party has moved consequentially to the left, and that they are much more heavily influenced by people on the progressive flank," Diker told the Post.

The House voted 314 to 104 to defeat the measure, offered as an amendment to a State Department spending bill by Republican Representative Thomas Massie of Kentucky.

PM Netanyahu says he wants to begin winding down US military aid to Israel over the last two years of the Trump administration, transitioning the US-Israel relationship “from aid to partnership."

US President Donald Trump has repeatedly called for an end to the twice-yearly clock changes and strongly supports the measure.
