Newly elected Speaker of the House Mike Johnson (R-La.) said he plans to move stand-alone Israel funding bill to the floor this week, backing only part of President Joe Biden’s request, which also included funding for Ukraine’s war efforts.
Johnson said on Fox’s Sunday Morning Features he’s going to “move a stand-alone Israel funding bill,” choosing to separate the funding from Ukraine aid.
Johnson described what’s happening in Israel as a “pressing and urgent need” and said there were “lots of things going on around the world” Congress needs to address, seemingly referring to Ukraine, but said Israel takes “the immediate attention.”
He added he believes there will be bi-partisan support for a bill that solely funds Israel.
