Johnson unveils ambitious path forward on Israel and Ukraine aid to break standstill

The House will move forward with a proposal to vote on four separate funding bills in an effort to advance aid to Ukraine and Israel after months of deliberation among lawmakers.

Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) unveiled the plan to House Republicans on Monday, proposing to split foreign aid into four separate bills focusing on Israel, Ukraine, Taiwan, and then a fourth that includes other defense measures to “strengthen our national security.” The plan is to combine all four bills into a single rules package before bringing them to the floor for individual votes, according to the speaker.
