President Joe Biden plans to veto a single bill that would aid Israel during its war against Hamas terrorists, according to the White House, but the White House also plans to veto a single bill that would aid Israel during its war against Hamas terrorists, but the White House also plans to veto support for Israel from spending on the Ukraine war and Democrats’ immigration policy. They advocate linking it to the funding bill.
CNN.com report Monday:
“The administration is committed to reaching a national security agreement that secures borders and provides assistance to the peoples of Ukraine and Israel, while providing much-needed humanitarian assistance to conflict-affected civilians around the world.” , spent months working with a bipartisan group of senators,” the White House said in a statement. “Instead of honestly addressing our most pressing national security challenges, this bill is yet another cynical political ploy.”
“Israel’s security should be sacred, not a political game,” the statement continued.
House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-Louisiana) said late last week that he would introduce standalone legislation to support Israel. The House had already passed a bill last year providing more than $14 billion in aid to Israel, with the money to be provided through cuts to the Internal Revenue Service that Biden expanded.
President Biden took the unusual step in October of tying aid to Israel with aid to Ukraine, which has recently waned in popularity. Critics argued that Biden was using Israel as a pawn and risking the aid package failing.
It is unclear whether a standalone Israel aid bill will pass the Senate, given that Democrats are largely following Mr. Biden’s wishes. But if such a bill passes both houses of Congress, it would likely be difficult for Biden to veto it. He will face invalid votes.
