EXCLUSIVE — House Republicans are accusing the Biden administration of undermining Israel in its war against Hamas by abstaining from a vote on a United Nations resolution calling for an immediate ceasefire. 

In a letter sent to President Joe Biden on Thursday, GOP lawmakers criticized the administration’s decision not to cast a vote on the measure, noting the abstention cleared the way for it to pass. The move also prompted backlash from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, with Republicans suggesting the decision has contributed toward the United States’s deteriorating relationship with its close ally.
