On Monday, House Republicans released the new Israel aid bill. It offsets $14.3 billion in Israel aid with $14.3 billion in cuts to the IRS. This bill includes zero assistance for Ukraine at this time. They want stand-alone bills.
Johnson believes it will pass the House.
“We’re going to move a stand-alone Israel funding bill this week in the House — I know our colleagues, our Republican colleagues in the Senate, have a similar measure,” Johnson said in an interview on Fox News’s “Sunday Morning Futures,” adding that he believes there will be bipartisan support for the measure.
“There are lots of things going on around the world that we have to address, and we will,” Johnson said. “But right now, what’s happening in Israel takes the immediate attention, and I think we’ve got to separate that and get it through.”
Some of the money to Israel would fund their new ‘Iron Beam’ and Iron Dome defense system. The cuts would slash spending from the Democrats’ “Inflation Reduction Act” signed into law last year.
America continues to support sending tens of billions of dollars overseas, and our border is not secured. Democrats want to send $100b to Ukraine and nothing for a wall.
Ukraine is an autocracy. Israel is a democracy and does not compare to Ukraine.
Rand Paul points to the obvious – Ukraine is a totalitarian regime.
We’re sending $100 billion to Ukraine that just canceled it’s elections.
We’re sending $100 billion to Ukraine that’s having a president for life and persecuting people based on religious grounds.

The $100k question is-
Doe they mean it?
#2 Will they stick to it? (even if it shuts down the govt.) or wuss out, as usual.
Enquiring minds want to know!
Love to see this bill hit the House Floor. See how many Dems fearing to be seen as promoting the IRS will vote for it. GOP should unite behind it.
That’s a great idea, and a conservative idea. Mitch’s corrupt gang will oppose it. Johnson holds the cards. Johnson is not trying to hold up aid, and we already send $3.8 billion a year to Israel.
I completely favor no extra aid for Israel unless the IRS thugs are cut. This is a test of the interests of a person. If a person wants the aid to Israel, with no cuts in the IRS thugs, and an increase in our huge debt, then that person has an imbalance on the needs and interests of patriotic Americans.
So come on folks, speak up on this, let’s see how you assess the interests of Americans. If you want an immediate bill with no conditions, which the dems and Mitch love, then I know where you stand.
Who are you to ask anyone to “speak up on this”.
