Rep. Burchett to Newsmax: Aid for Israel in Senate's Hands

The $14.5 billion in aid for Israel approved Thursday by the House is "waiting on the Senate to wake up and start doing some actual work," said Rep. Tim Burchett, R-Tenn.

In a departure from norms, Johnson's package required that the emergency aid be offset with cuts in government spending elsewhere. That tack established the new House GOP's conservative leadership, but it also turned what would typically be a bipartisan vote into one dividing Democrats and Republicans. Biden has said he would veto the bill, which was approved 226-196, with 12 Democrats joining most Republicans on a largely party-line vote.

"And that last $100 billion-plus package had more to do with Ukraine and hiring bureaucrats to allow illegals into our country than anything anywhere near close to the aid that it provided for Israel."
