House committee approves funding for Iron Dome

The US House Appropriations Committee on Tuesday approved the annual Department of Defense funding bill for 2022, which includes $500 million for joint US-Israel missile defense programs and vital funding for the Iron Dome anti-missile system.

The approval followed passage of the State, Foreign Operations, and Related Programs Appropriations bill earlier this month which included important provisions to support the US-Israel relationship, including $3.3 billion in continued security assistance.
