National security spokesperson John Kirby on Thursday made clear that President Biden would veto a bill that includes only funding for Israel’s war against Hamas if it were sent to his desk instead of a combination aid package he’s proposed that would also help Ukraine.
“The president would veto an Israel-only bill. I think we have made that clear,” Kirby said when pressed on if Biden would be against a clean Israel funding bill.
House Republicans have unveiled a bill that would provide $14.3 billion in aid for Israel, in exchange for cuts to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) that were one of several hallmarks of the president’s Inflation Reduction Act. The House plans to vote on the measure later Thursday.
The White House has previously said Biden would veto that package, but Kirby’s comments suggest Biden would veto any package that only funds Israeli’s battle against Hamas, the militant group that carried out terrorist attacks Oct. 7, and not other aid as well.

So what was Joe doing making a photo op journey to speak with BiBi?
What an a*& clown!
Who writes this crap? It is not Biden. It is Obama.
Not this time dude...take a deep breath and sign it.
Of course he would veto it..he wants to ensure his Ukraine money laundering operation continues..Biden could give a rats behind about Israel, in fact there is a rumor circulating in Israel that Biden wants all of Hamas terrorists to be allowed to leave the country and in return the hostages would be released
Make that stupid corrupt bitch do it. Maybe a lot of American Jews will get a good lesson from it.
Well he is being extorted by Zelenskyy who is threatening to release information about the bribes, if the payoffs don’t continue.
Make him do it.
Just in general, why does Congress frequently pass big bills with packages of unrelated items in them? Just in general, I think it’s good to have stand alone bills on every subject.
Let’s debate aid to Israel, and have a bill just on that subject. Ditto with Ukraine. Ditto with border security.
If aid to Israel is a good idea, then it should be enacted, regardless of what happens with unrelated subjects.

‘He’s Bluffing!’ Rand Paul Tells Fox There’s No Chance Biden Vetoes Israel Aid Bill
Republican Senator Rand Paul told Fox News host Brian Kilmeade that President Joe Biden is “bluffing” with a threat to veto the GOP’s effort to separate out aid to Israel.
“You really think he’s going to stand up in front of the world and say, oh, we’re not sending aid to Israel,” asked Paul rhetorically on Wednesday’s Fox and Friends.
Kilmeade brought up the subject of the Republican effort to separate out funding for Israel from a larger spending package the Democrats prefer, which would tie the money to funds for Ukraine and other spending. Biden has threatened to veto any such bill that reached his desk.
“You know, I think President Biden’s bluffing,” said Paul. “I don’t think he’ll veto aid to Israel. You really think he’s going to stand up in front of the world and say, oh, we’re not sending aid to Israel just because it’s paid for?”
When Kilmeade asked whether the GOP was looking to make each item in the Democrat spending bill into a separate item, he said that’s not necessarily the case. “Well, I’m not saying that everything will be separate. I think this aid’s going to be separate because I think it is a great deal of agreement,” he said.
Obama would never allow Joe to send a penny to Israel.it would be his complete undoing.
Make him do it.
Let him veto. Good
Put it on his desk.
So make him do it!
It would show whose side he is on.
...
Biden's side.
FJB, seriously.
Then it os Him. Veto it you pant shitter.
The Israel only aid bill has to make it past a hostile senate first.
Illiberal democrats will take the heat for babblin' biden.
Then he owns the failure to support Israel.
