On May 8, Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin and Joint Chiefs of Staff Chair Gen. Charles “CQ” Brown testified during a Senate Appropriations Subcommittee on Defense hearing on President Joe Biden’s 2025 Defense Budget Request. Several senators inquired about the Biden administration and Defense Department’s decision to pause the shipment of aid and weapons to Israel amidst the ongoing war in Gaza. Secretary Austin confirmed that one shipment of “high-payload munitions” was paused as the department “re-evaluated some of the security assistance” that the U.S. was providing. In response to a number of questions, Austin asserted that the U.S.’s support for Israel remains “iron-clad.” Other topics were covered by the Committee, including deterrence, nuclear capabilities, border security, and more.
