Coordinator for Strategic Communications at the National Security Council John Kirby said during a press briefing that President Biden would veto an Israel-only supplemental package if passed by Congress. 'The president would veto an only-Israel bill. I think that we've made that clear,' Kirby said during a White House press conference on Tuesday. Kirby's remarks came as House Republicans prepared to vote on a $14.3 billion Israel-only aid package.
When pressed by a reporter on the administration's stance with an Israel-only supplemental package, Kirby said its position has been made clear. 'I think in our statement of administration policy, we laid out very clearly why we wouldn't want to do that and why we think that of the things we've asked for in the supplemental important,' he said.
We need to come up with a different package to move forward that has the ability to get through the Democrat controlled Senate and signed into law by a president, who is also a Democrat,' a senate aide told Fox News Digital Wednesday. Fox News Digital's Jamie Joseph contributed to this report.
