House approves $14.5 billion in assistance for Israel as Biden vows to veto the GOP’s approach

LA Times  

Speaker of the House Mike Johnson, center, joined by, from left, Majority Whip Tom Emmer, Republican Conference Chair Elise Stefanik and House Majority Leader Steve Scalise, talks with reporters ahead of the debate and vote on supplemental aid to Israel, at the Capitol in Washington on Thursday. Johnson said the GOP package would provide Israel with the assistance needed to defend itself, free hostages held by Hamas and eradicate the militant Palestinian group, accomplishing “all of this while we also work to ensure responsible spending and reduce the size of the federal government.” Democrats said that approach would only delay help for Israel. The White House’s veto warning said Johnson’s approach “fails to meet the urgency of the moment” and would set a dangerous precedent by requiring emergency funds to come from cuts elsewhere. Although the amount for Israel in the House bill is similar to what Biden sought, the White House said the Republican plan’s failure to include humanitarian assistance for Gaza is a “grave mistake” as the crisis deepens. “This bill would break with the normal, bipartisan approach to providing emergency national security assistance,” the White House wrote in its statement of administration policy on the legislation.
