TL;DR Summary

The US House of Representatives rejected a standalone bill providing $17.6 billion in military aid for Israel after the White House criticized it as a "political ploy" and threatened a veto from President Biden. The bill failed in a 250-180 vote, with bipartisan opposition. House Democratic leaders and the White House opposed the bill, while the House Freedom Caucus criticized it for lacking offsetting spending cuts. A broader bipartisan Senate bill linking aid for Israel with assistance for Ukraine and border security also faces uncertainty.
