Exclusive: House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-Louisiana) told Fox News that the House will change its legislative agenda next week to address only the Middle East crisis.
Scalise said the House is killing “thematic” legislation that would limit the types of consumer electronics people can buy and focus on the Biden administration’s attempts to recalibrate foreign policy. .
Why did the House delay sending the articles of impeachment against Mayorkas to the Senate to begin the trial?
The biggest issue is potential support for Israel. Scalise says it’s unclear whether the House will focus solely on Israel or do something related to Ukraine and Taiwan. Scalise suggested it was a clear possibility that an Israel-only bill would be introduced. However, he did not rule out the possibility of including Ukraine. Scalise said members need to understand what is allowed to pass.

Scalise said the House is also considering a bill to support Israel and a resolution condemning Iran and this weekend’s attacks.
Specifically, Scalise said the House would introduce a bill that was blocked last week when lawmakers introduced a procedural measure that blocked debate on the FISA bill.
