Republican senators are renewing calls for President Biden to be impeached following reports of delays in aid to Israel during its war with the terrorist organization Hamas.

According to the official, “None of these shipments have anything to do with the additional spending for Israel that was passed last month. They are all financed from funds previously allocated years ago.”
