Biden backs House supplemental bills on Ukraine‚ Israel‚ Indo-Pacific
President Joe Biden has declared his support for measures that would‚ in part‚ include aid for Ukraine and Israel.&;quot;I strongly support this package to get critical support to Israel and Ukraine‚ provide desperately needed humanitarian aid to Palestinians in Gaza‚ and bolster security and stability in the Indo-Pacific‚&;quot; Biden said in a statement. &;quot;The House must pass the package this week and the Senate should quickly follow. I will sign this into law immediately to send a message to the world: We stand with our friends‚ and we won’t let Iran or Russia succeed.&;quot;House Speaker Mike Johnson‚ who currently faces the looming threat of a potential ouster from the speakership slot‚ has said he believes it is &;quot;critically important&;quot; to supply Ukraine with &;quot;lethal aid.&;quot;The House Freedom Caucus tweeted that &;quot;funding for Ukraine‚ Israel and Taiwan will be brought to the House floor under a gimmicky process known as a 'MIRV.' This makes them appear as 3 separate bills. False. It simply means Johnson will use different vote coalitions to pass each and then merge them together.&;quot; &;quot;The priority of the GOP-controlled House should be halting the foreign invaders at our doorstep‚ NOT setting our tax dollars on fire to fuel a European land dispute‚&;quot; GOP Rep. Eli Crane of Arizona tweeted. GOP Rep. Dan Bishop of North Carolina tweeted‚ &;quot;I will oppose House leadership's America Last rule designed to pass the Senate's Forever War supplemental‚ as well as the rule setting up a purely cosmetic vote on a weakened border bill. These bills serve to emphasize leadership's betrayal of the overwhelming majority of Americans who demand the border be secured now.&;quot;Like Blaze News&;#63; Bypass the censors‚ sign up for our newsletters‚ and get stories like this direct to your inbox.
