President Joe Biden would veto a proposed standalone aid package for Israel, the White House said Monday, as House Republicans look to tank a long-awaited bipartisan Senate border deal that would include aid to US allies.
“The Administration spent months working with a bipartisan group of Senators to reach a national security agreement that secures the border and provides support for the people of Ukraine and Israel, while also providing much-needed humanitarian assistance to civilians affected by conflicts around the world,” the White House wrote in a statement. “Instead of working in good faith to address the most pressing national security challenges, this bill is another cynical political maneuver.”
“The security of Israel should be sacred, not a political game,” the statement continued. The bill, floated by House Speaker Mike Johnson last week, comes as the Senate’s $118.2 billion legislative package, which would give the president powers to significantly restrict illegal migrant crossings at the southern border as well as provide billions of dollars to Israel and Ukraine, faces mounting GOP opposition amid pushback from House Republicans and former President Donald Trump.
CNN previously reported that Johnson was planning to move a $17.6 billion Israel bill with no offsets, upping pressure on Democrats to support it, but it has run into some headwinds on the right and the left.

It doesn’t make a lot of sense to me.
So you have a president who’s in favor of three disparate subjects, which are addressed in one Omnibus Bill.
The Omnibus Bill is in serious trouble. But a standalone bill for one of the subjects that you are in favor of would pass in Congress.
Under such circumstances why would you oppose the Standalone bill that would give you one of the things that you want to see happen? Why is there such desire to shove all three things through or have none at all?
In that case Joe may not get anything out of it.
So, I’ve got a movie script: Aliens are behind all of this, controlling Biden and other world leaders with threats of utter destruction. The Aliens create the predicted climate crisis and then “save” us from it. They will reveal themselves as heroes at the UN and the members will vote for them to rule us. It sounds crazy but everything sounds crazy now, so why not?
$17 billion to a wealthy nation that provides free healthcare, free prescription drugs, and free college educations for their citizens, much of which is subsidized by the U.S. taxpayer who receives nothing of the sort.
If I ask why, does this mean I’m antisemitic and hate Israel?
What is all this worry about. Let him veto it.
Hey, finally something we agree on. NO MORE MONEY TO ANY OTHER COUNTRY!!!!!!
Right, this is a loser for him no matter what he does. More evidence he isn’t running anything.
LET HIM, now pass another bill giving money to Ukraine while ZEROING out the Budget for the Dept of Education to pay for it.
Jewish Americans will still , by and large, vote for Biden anyways so he doesn’t lose anything by vetoing the bill.
biden has no idea what he is doing or not doing especially the ramifications of any of the actions he is directed to do by his puppet masters. His legasey will be that of a demented used fool that was the tool used to destroy America
Jut wait... Obama has a bigger dildo... and Biden WON’T change his mind.
Go ahead Joe.
It’ll be good optics for you.
That small number of voters don’t matter. Jewish donors furnish up to half of Democrat money. Losing even a dozen billionaires would be a huge deal, especially if the money went to the GOP instead.
Go ahead and veto it Biden.
If Israel were waiting for aid from the US, we would have been done for in 1948. Give aid. Don’t give aid. We don’t need anyone’s help or permission to defend ourselves from these monsters.
Don’t tell anyone but the Israeli national debt is $300 billion. I guess borrowing $17 billion to add to our $35 TRILLION in debt in order to give it to Israel makes sense.
Maybe. Maybe not, but he who calls the shots does hate Jews....Obama, of course.
Call his bluff!
What I can't figure out is why the Border Patrol union endorses this plan to keep the floodgates open. Maybe that group is not as conservative as the media says it is.
When things don’t make sense, we’re advised to follow the money.
Generally, many wealthy Jews have filled D coffers over the decades so Israeli animosity would likely be costly. Juxtaposed against Biden’s support for the jew hating black Squad: AOC, Bush, Omar, Tliab, Pressley, Bowman, Summer Lee.....
None appear well financed, so who is providing the financial support that’s being lost ?
Another jew-hating, self-loathing Jew. George Soros.
DO IT, REPUBLICANS!!! SEND HIM THAT BILL AND MAKE HIM VETO AID TO JEWS!!
