Senator Rosen, together with Senator Rubio, spearheaded a bipartisan letter urging President Biden to oppose International Criminal Court efforts that target Israel firmly. This stance raises concerns about undermining international judicial processes and accountability. In 2023, Rosen proudly announced the transfer of two additional Iron Dome batteries to Israel, following her bipartisan push to strengthen this controversial offensive system. Critics argue that such moves may escalate regional tensions and prioritize military solutions over diplomatic efforts.
Furthermore, Rosen, along with her colleagues, pressed President Biden to ensure that Israel receives the munitions and missile defense capabilities it needs, including Iron Dome interceptors perpetuating a cycle of dependency on military aid, potentially diverting attention from pressing humanitarian issues in the region.
Additionally, Rosen played a significant role in including a provision in the bipartisan national defense bill to authorize $500 million for the Iron Dome and other U.S.-Israel cooperative missile offensive programs, which reflects a disproportionate emphasis on military aid, questioning whether it aligns with broader U.S. foreign policy objectives and ethical considerations regarding the ongoing conflict.
