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.”

Seventeen billion? billion? BILLION? Our normal annual aid package to Israel is about three (3) billion. Seventeen should be enough to buy the place? That’s enough to buy seventeen thousand, one-million dollar missiles. What the heck are they shooting at?
But they’re Our Greatest Ally Evah.
Borrowed from whom? It’s just printed and we pay it back with interest.
Take it up with GOD, not US. However The US has to protect Israel when it makes the mistake of going into the nwo.
They are worse than useless.
Whete do you go?
We need to support Isreal at this time. I want to see the border secured. But all our commitments can’t stop over it.
You’re not going to secure that border unless Trump becomes president.
The two countries’ political scenes are amazingly similar despite their different situations. Both are being pulled down by a far leftist internal assault. Both suffer from some politicians who are destructive on many fronts: defense, borders, economics, basic moral values, etc.
And yeas, Israel should have a working second amendment (as should USA!)
Agreed,
Thanks
I didn’t go anywhere, I just stopped posting for a bit.
That's it, I'm telling Jonathan Greenblatt and the SPLC.
You are in the minority around here. The vast majority of posters are very pro- Israel
Aid is another matter.
See post 52.
Good. Hit up the pedophile protecting ADL too.
I’m sick of reading ignorant crap about our foreign policy.
Israel is a vital ally and yes a democracy in the Middle East.
We have morons here who run their mouths and don’t appreciate the need to support a single ally.
What do you fools think happens to a country like ours when it loses every single ally to its sworn enemies?
It’s just ridiculous.
I’m in the majority of the country. FR is a small site relative to our country.
More importantly, I’m correct as far as addressing the interests of US citizens.
I care about Eritrea and Suriname the same as Israel.
Aren’t you thinking of leaving the US for Spain.
"Why you little..."
They need better defense Re/supply and they need to restore their aircraft industry despite the Washington lobbyists
They need better support right now having been attacked. The rest can wait imho
We sure are!
