The Republican-led US House of Representatives passed a bill on Thursday that would force President Joe Biden to send weapons to Israel, seeking to rebuke the Democrat for delaying bomb shipments as he urges Israel to do more to protect civilians during its war with Hamas.

Sixteen Democrats joined most Republicans in voting yes, and three Republicans joined most Democrats in opposing the measure.
