Johnson vows to move $14.5 billion Israel aid package, setting up showdown with Senate

Johnson’s choice to present a separate funding bill for Israel, which he assured members would be fully funded, and to separate it from Ukraine aid, sets the stage for a potential confrontation with the Democratic-controlled Senate and White House.

They prefer linking these two issues, as standalone Ukraine aid faces an uncertain path in the GOP-led House, CNN reported.
