ZitatAlles anzeigenWASHINGTON, Nov 1 (Reuters) - U.S. House of Representatives Speaker Mike Johnson said on Wednesday he plans to hold a vote on a standalone Israel aid bill despite a Congressional Budget Office report showing it could increase the federal deficit.
[...]
[...], the measure is unlikely to pass.
Democrats and some Republicans oppose the plan, choosing instead to support Democratic President Joe Biden's request for a $106-billion bill including funding for Ukraine as it fights Russian invaders, increased border security, humanitarian aid and efforts to push back against China in the Indo-Pacific, as well as money for Israel.
[...]
Democrats accused Johnson's Republicans of wasting time by backing a partisan measure rather than a bill that would pass quickly and address the crisis that has followed the Oct. 7 attack on Israel by Iran-backed Hamas militants from the Gaza Strip.
The top Senate Democrat, Chuck Schumer, said on Tuesday the bill would be dead on arrival in the upper chamber.
The Biden administration said Biden would veto such a bill if it reached his desk, calling it "bad for Israel, for the Middle East region, and for our own national security."
