Speaker Johnson unveils $14.3 billion Israel aid bill paid for with cuts to IRS

House Republicans, led by Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA), introduced the chamber’s $14.3 billion Israel aid bill on Monday, which will be paid for in full by offsets in spending, but passing the legislation will be difficult.

Contrary to President Joe Biden’s $106 billion supplemental request, which would have provided aid to Israel, Ukraine, Taiwan, and the southern border in the same bill, Johnson split Israel’s aid off and is hoping to fund it on its own.
