House Speaker Johnson to push Israel aid this week, could include package with billions to Ukraine, Taiwan

House Speaker Mike Johnson is expected to bring a spending package to the House floor this week that will provide wartime aid for Israel after it suffered a drone and missile barrage from Iran over the weekend. The spending package also includes billions for Ukraine and Taiwan. Johnson, R-La., is facing immense political pressure to clear through his chamber a $95 billion supplemental package that would send support to the U.S.

House Majority Leader Steve Scalise said in a statement Saturday that the House would change its legislative schedule this week to 'consider legislation that supports our ally Israel and holds Iran and its terrorist proxies accountable,' but did not provide additional details on which path Johnson may take. Johnson’s legislative push this week comes after he traveled to Florida on Friday for an event with former President Trump at Mar-a-Lago.
