"Biden's Veto Threats Over Standalone Israel Aid Bill and Criticism of Speaker Johnson"
TL;DR Summary
The White House stated that President Biden would veto a standalone bill providing aid to Israel, backed by House Republicans, as it prefers a broader bipartisan bill encompassing aid for Ukraine, Israel, and border security. The $118bn legislation package includes aid for Ukraine, Israel's war efforts, and border enforcement. Senate Republicans expressed doubts about supporting the package, with a key test vote scheduled for Wednesday. Both Democratic and Republican leaders emphasized the urgency of approving aid for Ukraine, while the defense department has halted shipments of ammunition and missiles to Kyiv.
