TL;DR Summary

Speaker of the House Mike Johnson and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell may clash over funding for Ukraine and Israel. McConnell is pushing for aid to Ukraine and Israel as part of a national security package, while Johnson proposed a standalone $14.3 billion funding bill for Israel. President Biden has requested $106 billion in supplemental funding, with half for Ukraine aid. McConnell intends to make changes to Biden's request, particularly regarding the border. The House is expected to vote on the standalone aid package to Israel this week. Johnson supports aid for Ukraine but wants to see "conditions." The potential showdown between the House and the Senate could be a major test for Johnson.
