House Republicans, led by Speaker Mike Johnson , officially introduced the chamber's $14.3 billion Israel aid package on Monday, which will be paid for in full by offsets in spending, but passing the legislation will be difficult.
The House has been unable to act and fund Israel’s defense against the invasion due to its lack of a speaker over the previous three weeks. But, Johnson, having just been elected speaker on Wednesday of last week, looks to make this his second major piece of legislation to pass. “I am tired of this stuff. I do not believe we should write another blank check to anyone, including ourselves, we must pay for it. And the American people must see that it's going to cause something if we're going to give another $14 billion to Israel. So I'm for it. But it should be paid for. And it should be paid for with real money, not budgetary gimmicks,” Rep. Chip Roy , a member of the House Freedom Caucus, said on a radio show Monday.
