REUTERS/Kevin Lamarque/File photoWASHINGTON -The U.S. House of Representatives plans a vote on Thursday on a Republican plan to provide $14.3 billion in aid to Israel as it fights Hamas, setting up a clash with the Democratic-controlled Senate and White House.
The measure would cut Internal Revenue Service funding so as to give military aid to Israel, whose tanks and troops took on Hamas on the outskirts of Gaza City on Thursday. The top Senate Democrat, Chuck Schumer, said the Republican bill would be dead on arrival in the upper chamber, even if it passed the House. The White House has threatened a veto.Democrats objected to cutting money for the IRS, saying it will increase the country's budget deficit by cutting back on tax collection.
