Biden, seeking ways to push Ukraine aid through Congress, may tie it to a more popular package of support for Israel. Some conservatives are likely to cry foul.
President Biden speaks on the attacks by Hamas on Saturday, flanked by Secretary of State Antony Blinken. The White House is considering a move to attach Ukraine funding to a request for urgent aid to Israel, according to several people familiar with the deliberations, in the hopes that such a pairing would increase the chance that Congress would approve aid to Kyiv despite growing opposition from House Republicans.
Rep. Tony Gonzales , a supporter of assistance to both Israel and Ukraine, said he does not see how the aid would not be tied together, especially if Congress hopes to address both before the next fiscal deadline. Under current House rules, it is the speaker who moves legislation, so the chamber’s ability to approve any foreign aid package is in doubt until McCarthy’s successor is chosen. That process will start Tuesday, but it is not clear when any candidate will secure enough support to declare victory.In the meantime, House lawmakers could vote to give interim speaker Patrick T. McHenry temporary authority to bring bills to the floor, one congressional aide said.
Now the region is bracing for a hard-hitting Israeli incursion into Gaza in retaliation for the weekend attacks. “What we will do to our enemies in the coming days will reverberate with them for generations,” Netanyahu said, while Defense Minister Yoav Gallant added that Israel is fighting “animals” and would act accordingly, rhetoric that alarmed some observers who called it dehumanizing and urged restraint.
Israeli officials have made several specific requests to Washington in response to the military offensive by Hamas, including a replenishment of Iron Dome interceptors, small-diameter bombs, various rounds of ammunition for machine guns and heightened cooperation on intelligence-sharing related to potential military activities in southern Lebanon, according to U.S. officials familiar with the requests.
