House Republicans Seek to Uncouple Israel and Ukraine Aid Packages

Speaker Mike Johnson says House Republicans want to bifurcate aid to Israel and Ukraine. He argues the needs of each country are different.

A group of GOP senators introduced a bill to separate aid to Israel from the White House's broader $105B request that included Ukraine.

Some Republicans are resisting linking assistance to both countries, even as GOP leadership pushed for a joint package.

Ukrainian officials hope aid for both nations stays linked and brought to a vote soon. They say more support is needed to sustain and win the war.

Johnson says House Republicans will bring a standalone $14B Israel aid measure, to be offset by spending cuts elsewhere. Some Republicans also want Ukraine aid offset.
