TL;DR Summary

House Speaker Mike Johnson proposed separating aid for Israel and Ukraine into four separate bills in an effort to fend off a right-wing revolt and advance foreign aid legislation. The move comes amid pressure to hold a vote on a $95 billion aid package for Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan that passed the Senate in February. Johnson's leadership is at risk as some Republicans threaten to oust him if he moves ahead with an aid package for Ukraine, while progressives and the White House oppose a standalone Israel bill.
