Second-largest hospital in Gaza says it warned it couldn’t evacuate before Israeli airstrikeThousands rally in Pakistan against Israel’s bombing in Gaza, chanting anti-American sloganson Sunday confirmed plans to take up an Israel aid bill this week — putting him on a collision course with the Biden administration, which wants a broader package that includes Ukraine funding.
The White House rolled out a sprawling $106 billion supplemental package earlier this month, seeking $61.4 billion for Ukraine, $14.3 billion for Israel, $14 billion for immigration enforcement, and $16.55 for other issues such as Taiwan. Johnson expressed interest in reforming the motion to vacate — the parliamentary tool Rep. Matt Gaetz deployed to stage a coup against McCarthy.“I’m not afraid of it, because I’m going to openly work transparently and with every member… But the rule makes it difficult for any speaker to do their job.”The new speaker affirmed his support for Israel at the Republican Jewish Coalition annual summit in Los Vegas over the weekend.
The speaker also sought to allay concerns about House Republicans being gripped by dysfunction and chaos.
