"House to Vote on Israel Bill Amid Pressure from Iran Strikes and Aid Disagreements"
TL;DR Summary
Speaker Mike Johnson announced that the House will vote on a bill to aid Israel in the coming days, following Iranian attacks on the country, and suggested that aid for Ukraine could be included in the legislation. The decision comes after U.S. funding for both Israel and Ukraine has faced challenges in Congress, with Johnson previously refusing to take up a $95 billion aid package for the two countries. The pressure to bring a package to the floor has increased following the attacks from Iran, but it remains unclear whether the upcoming legislation will also include aid for Ukraine.
