"Johnson Pushes for $95 Billion Aid Package for Ukraine and Israel Amid Speaker Threats and Iran's Missile Attack"

Speaker Mike Johnson and House Republicans propose a $95 billion foreign aid package for Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan, facing opposition from within their own party. The package includes funding for Israel's Iron Dome defense system and replenishing weapons for Ukraine. Some Republicans criticize the plan as "America Last" and question the prioritization of foreign aid over domestic issues. President Biden and top Democrats support the bills, urging swift passage, while Republicans plan to introduce additional measures to confront Russia, China, and Iran. If the package clears the House, the Senate will consider it upon their return on April 29.

Senate Republicans Block Bipartisan Border Deal and Foreign Aid Package

Senate Republicans blocked a bipartisan border deal and foreign aid package, including assistance for Ukraine and Israel, in a key vote following pressure from former President Donald Trump. The outcome leaves aid for Ukraine and Israel in jeopardy, with lawmakers facing increasing pressure to pass foreign aid on its own. Senators are engaged in urgent talks to reach an agreement, but the process could take many hours. Democrats have expressed outrage at Republicans for opposing the border deal, while some Republicans have criticized the bill directly and argued for more time to consider, debate, and amend it.

"Biden Proposes $100 Billion Aid Package for Israel and Ukraine"

The Biden administration is preparing a $100 billion foreign aid package that includes assistance for Israel and Ukraine. The majority of the aid is expected to go to Ukraine, with $10 billion allocated for Israel. The proposal comes as President Biden visits Israel in a show of solidarity following the recent attack by Hamas. Senate leaders from both parties have expressed support for the aid package, with Republicans also emphasizing the need for credible border security measures. The aid package aims to address urgent funding needs in Ukraine and strengthen ties with Israel, while also potentially making it more difficult for GOP hardliners to reject the package due to their support for Israel. Pro-Israeli groups have also called for funding to protect Jewish communities in the US, but it is unclear if this request is included in the aid package.
