Struggling to think of an argument for US foreign aid that:
1) would resonate with most Republicans, and

Not that the defense swamp has to worry about an incorrigible warmonger & GWOT cheerleader like Hegseth, but also: the guy is a walking blackmail target. Easy for powerful actors (including foreign ones, btw) to gain leverage over someone with so much to hide and so much to lose.

As @emile-hokayem.bsky.social noted on twitter, this latest veto comes “after a year during which the US said any UN action would complicate its own diplomatic efforts, which have yielded nothing because the US has chosen not to pressure Israel in any meaningful way.”

As Gaza’s hunger crisis worsens, organized gangs are stealing much of the aid Israel allows into the enclave, operating freely in areas controlled by the Israeli military, according to aid group officials, humanitarian workers, transport companies and witnesses. wapo.st/3ACvR5r
Gangs looting Gaza aid operate in areas under Israeli control, aid groups say
A U.N. memo obtained by The Post concluded that gangs “may be benefiting from a passive if not active benevolence” or “protection” from Israel’s military.
