House Speaker Mike Johnson will introduce a bill to send $17.6 billion to Israel in emergency aid without corresponding spending cuts amid a fight over border security.
The first standalone Israel aid package voted on included IRS cuts, which of course received heavy backlash by Democrats and was rejected by Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer.
The new Israel funding bill will exclude the IRS cuts.
"While the Senate appears poised to finally release text of their supplemental package after months of behind closed doors negotiations, their leadership is aware that by failing to include the House in their negotiations, they have eliminated the ability for swift consideration of any legislation,” speaker Johnson wrote in a letter to colleagues.
"Given the Senate’s failure to move appropriate legislation in a timely fashion, and the perilous circumstances currently facing Israel, the House will continue to lead. Next week, we will take up and pass a clean, standalone Israel supplemental package.”

It’s Going nowhere in the Senate anyway.
I do not agree - I say let their Communist left wing Supreme court fight with whomever they wish to fight.
Prosecuting Netanyahu is something these Commie Israeli Supreeeeemse do so well. Give the asses swords and knives as they deny their citizens the equivalent of the U.S. 2nd amendment
This is a stupid thing for Johnson to do.
Well, the Antisemites are out now.
I didn’t read the whole thing, I apologize. Netenyahu has been the best thing for Israel.
Fully one half of the Jewish population in Israel is as Left wing as the ones in N.Y.
And then you have the TORA sect who live on welfare and never fight
It was taken out in a different package.
The globalists keep putting Israel and Ukraine aid together. This is a clever move.
He’s separating Israel from the Ukraine.“
That part is good still sucks but at least there is that
It was taken out in another pkg.
It’ll be a squeaker but I bet it passes.
Hardly....they want it separate...and that’s the way it should be. Ket the Senate pass this and HR2 and we’ll talk Ukraine.
(Israel is under attack from basically Russia, Iran, Yemen, Hezballah, Hamas, and the AbbasFatahPLO. Let’s stop the Washington Bullkrap and send them the equipment and ammo they need to win now~!)
Absolutely No!
Israel is self sufficient. They have PLENTY OF BILLIONS to take care of their selves. See post 11 by Liz.
GOD still supports it. However, I don’t support the package without the IRS Cuts.
How about $17.6 billion refunded to the tax payers they stole it from.
Won’t happen.
different day, same problem
Sadly, this is true.
I seem to recall no shortage of "conservatives" calling for a current member of Congress to be expelled because she was seen to be acknowledging that she puts the interests of a foreign country before those of the United States. Will anyone call for the expulsion of Speaker Johnson for his having done the same thing? If not, why not?
And, please, no one cite Genesis 12:3 to me. I don't read the Bible the way the Dispensationalist dimwits do.
The United Stayes has to be the Country that stands up to the NwO and protects Israel, we can’t do that if we fall.
