The remarkable ‘Syria’ detail in the bill adopted in the US.
Lawmakers in the US House of Representatives voted on the NDAA bill today, following some amendments to the bill. The bill was approved with the “yes” votes of 219 deputies against the “no” votes of 210 deputies.
Just four Democrats voted “yes” on the bill, which includes amendments to cover abortion-related military spending, restrict transgender people’s access to gender-related health care, and change social diversity and inclusion, with the support of conservative Republicans. The bill also includes changes regarding the measures to be taken against China and Russia.
Amendments proposed by some Republican lawmakers to stop aid to Ukraine and not give the country cluster munitions were not included in the bill because it did not pass.
The bill includes $886 billion for the Pentagon’s fiscal year 2024 budget and US defense spending policies.
DETAIL OF “CONTINUED SUPPORT TO GROUPS IN SYRIA” IN THE DRAFT
The bill also included an article on continuing support for “inspected groups and individuals” in Syria, including the YPG/PKK terrorist organization.
It was indicated that the $358 million fund allocated to efforts in the field of combating the terrorist organization ISIS should be reduced to approximately $242 million.
In the US, the bill is prepared and accepted separately by both houses of Congress. It is then consolidated into the Conference Committee, which consists of members of the Senate and the House of Representatives.
A vote on the bill is expected next week in the Democratic-dominated Senate. (AA)
