"House Democrats Face Showdown Over $17 Billion Israel Aid Bill"

House Republicans plan to vote on a standalone bill providing billions in military aid to Israel and U.S. forces in the region, setting up a showdown with the Senate, which is expected to package funding for border security with aid for foreign democracies. The bill, which includes $3.3 billion more for Israel, does not include controversial offsets to the Internal Revenue Service. This move comes as the Senate is expected to vote on a supplemental package funding border security and aid to Ukraine, Israel, and the Indo-Pacific region. The House bill does not include funding for Ukraine and sets up dueling votes in both chambers, highlighting divisions on how to fund border security and aid to foreign allies.
