President Biden would veto a package put forward by House Republicans to provide aid to Israel while cutting funding for the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and leaving out funding for other national security priorities, the White House said Tuesday.
The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) picked apart the House GOP proposal in a lengthy statement of administration policy, arguing it “inserts partisanship into support for Israel” and fails to meet the moment by leaving out humanitarian assistance for the people of Gaza and aid for Ukraine and allies in the Indo-Pacific.
“This bill is bad for Israel, for the Middle East region, and for our own national security,” the OMB said.

GOOD!!! SEND IT TO HIM!!!
Go ahead and own the veto. This lie that the US House has to pass bills pre-approved by the US Senate and White House needs to be nuked.

We have aircraft carriers already on scene if things really heat up. And aid to Gaza? Get stuffed Biden. Biden can take back his aid to Iran and divvy up with this dysfunctional pals.
Quid pro joe trying to claw back the muzzie vote???
This isn’t an “emergency national security package.” There are no U.S. security interests at stake here.
Then I guess they won’t get anything, and it will be Biden’s fault.
“This bill is bad for Israel“
The bill gives Israel just as much aid as the rats Ukraine money laundering bundle but somehow the stand alone hurts Israel. These maggots are incapable of shame.
Biden and the Democrats are MORE THAN WELCOME to side with Hamas, the IRS, and the most corrupt country in Europe.
Go ahead, Democrats, make your case!!!
Let him veto it, then send another bill with bigger cuts and repeat.
Vetoing it is bad for Israel too.
Oh well, anyway
The Senate won’t go for it anyway easy for Joe to say that.
The game will play out it will be interesting to see how it ends.
I’m not sending money to the Republicans right now anyway when does the gravy train for Ukraine end Mitch?
Brandon is oblivious to reality. Good, bad, indifferent, the evil, corrupt pedophile can do nothing right. Pure evil is in control..............
IOWs the bill would actually help Israel and not the terrorists and 0bama will have none of it.
“ Go ahead and own the veto. This lie that the US House has to pass bills pre-approved by the US Senate and White House needs to be nuked.”
