Joe Biden will veto the draft law on aid to Israel without taking into account the needs of Ukraine. This document was supported by Republicans from the House of Representatives.

Thus, the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Republican Mike Johnson, announced the preparation of a separate bill to provide assistance to Israel without taking into account support from Ukraine. He wants to put the document to a vote this week, citing “the dangerous circumstances in which Israel now finds itself,” writes 24 Channel.

What is known about Biden's veto

U.S. National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan in an interview with NBC News answered the question whether Joe Biden would sign an aid package for Israel without Ukraine.

We think this is a ploy. And we see that this ploy on the part of the House of Representatives is not a serious effort aimed at solving the national security problems facing America, said an adviser to Joe Biden.

What the US Presidential Administration said

House Speaker Mike Johnson announced a separate aid bill for Israel after the Senate reached a tentative immigration deal that he plans to vote on this week.

President Joe's Administration Biden, according to Voice of America, said that the head of state would veto a separate bill, supported by House Republicans, that would provide aid to Israel. Because the President supports a broader bill that includes aid to Ukraine and Israel, as well as new funding for security and borders.

Administration Urges both houses of Congress to reject this political stunt and instead quickly send to the President's desk a bipartisan Emergency National Security Action Act to complement the appropriations, the White House Office of Management and Budget said.

After all, the Biden administration has been working for months with Democrats and Republicans in the Senate on a relief bill for Ukraine, Israel, partners in the Indo-Pacific region with reform of US immigration policy.
