A number of Republicans have signaled their disagreement with Mike Johnson's plan to decouple Israel and Ukraine military aid amidst their respective wars with Hamas and Russia.
Under the new speaker, the House of Representatives seeks to provide $14.3 billion in aid to Israel. President Joe Biden had initially requested the House pass a $10 billion package that would have included aid for Israel, Ukraine and border security.
Johnson has in the past voted against aid for Ukraine and has said he wanted aid to Israel and Ukraine to be handled separately with more accountability for money sent to the Kyiv government.

It costs more to let the war drag out. Finish it.
Oh come on, It's comes with only an honest 10% back to the big guy. We can afford it........maybe.
Is he your butt buddy?
This is the second time in two days you defend Linda.
Why is that?
I thought you faggots just wanted to be left alone?…
They ALL do
Took them that long?
The only reason to bundle them is; if you cannot get the needed votes individually. Ukraine is the only one where the vote is in doubt, but even that one would likely pass. I see NO good reason for bundling. Let everyone vote on each, and be seen doing it.
Lindsay can pound sand
Deep State leak to media.
“It costs more to let the war drag out. Finish it.”
It costs who more? It need not cost the US more in Ukraine. The only thing we are buying by funding the Hamas war is preventing nuclear annihilation of the Arab world + Iran.
Maybe that is worth it. Ukraine? If we give money to Ukraine it will end up buying weapons for Hamas. No thank you. No more for Ukraine.
See? I just saved $61B and it ends up costing less than your plan.
About $16 billion more ought to do it.
And no, it won't go towards "an urban guerilla war against HAMAS".
It will go for "ethnic cleansing" of the entire Gaza strip. No Palestinians, no problems. A strategy proven successful in centuries of use everywhere in the world.
War is a nasty business. Win it and end it as quickly as possible. Yes, that is who we really are, when pressed.
Funding for the two conflicts should be separate packages.”
Of course it should but Mitch and Linda knows there is a good chance the Ukraine money laundering piece won’t get through the House but the R base is totally fed up with it.
And they should triple both bills. “
You lost me on that one
LOL. Yes I am, but buddies with him.
Sarcasm......
Yep! They just don’t want to go on record...that, or they want to force people to vote for their project in return for voting to help Israel!
If they had ANY honesty, the budget would involve a few hundred separate votes!
As far as strategy goes helping Israel is a better bet than Ukraine.
This is a great thing Johnsonisdoing. One bill at a time.
Lindsey being Trump’s BFF and a member of his SC campaign leaderhip team speaks with authority. Johnson better listen to him. /s
Good grief. People like you are so far from my priorities, I often wonder why I even come to FR anymore.
It’s an odd detail to concern oneself with over war mongering.
McCain was disliked for the exact same reason, he just wasn’t gay.
Graham deserves scorn of whatever variety.
The real anger here is at his warmongering, and I think you know that.
