Emergency Resupply for Iron Dome Act of 2023
This bill redirects unspent U.S. foreign assistance funds originally designated for Gaza to directly support Israel's Iron Dome missile defense system. It requires the President to transfer these funds - bypassing other existing legal restrictions - to either the Defense Department or the Foreign Military Financing Program for grants to Israel specifically for resupplying Iron Dome components. The bill directly affects Israel's ability to maintain its short-range rocket defense system by providing immediate funding access. It does not create new funding but reallocates existing unexpended balances from Gaza assistance to this defense purpose.
