House Speaker Mike Johnson said he expects the Republican-led chamber to pass an Israel aid bill this week, defying President Joe Biden’s request for a broader package that includes support for Ukraine.
“We’re going to move a standalone Israel funding bill this week in the House,” Johnson said on Fox News’s Sunday Morning Futures. “We believe that that is a pressing and urgent need.”
