House GOP Introduces $14.3B Aid Package for Israel, Faces Opposition From Democrats
  • 6 months ago
The House GOP has introduced legislation to provide $14.3 billion in aid to Israel, which includes spending cuts to offset the cost. Democrats oppose the spending cuts in the House bill. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and others also want any funding package to include aid for Ukraine and Gaza, rather than just Israel. Senate Democrats have already criticized the House bill as unlikely to pass the Senate. The dueling packages and proposals set up negotiations between the chambers to try to pass a final compromise security funding bill. However, differences remain within and between the parties on the policy specifics.
