The Democrats are at it again, causing trouble for our good friend, Israel. President Joe Biden, a man who just can’t seem to get anything right, is threatening to veto a standalone bill that would provide aid to our important ally in the Middle East. Even when the Republicans had the House under control, they tried to pass a bill to help Israel, but it failed multiple times in the Senate. It seems like the Democrats just don’t care about our friends over there.
The proposed border bill, which includes $14 billion in aid for Israel, is already getting pushback from Speaker Mike Johnson and other House leaders. They’re not having it, and rightfully so! But wait, the White House’s Office of Management and Budget has the nerve to call the $17.6 billion Israel bill a “cynical political maneuver.” Can you believe this? They’re the ones playing games with important aid for Israel, and now they’re trying to blame the Republicans for it. Classic!
We Have Another Veto Threat From the White House When It Comes to Israel Aid

And what’s this about tying aid to Ukraine with assistance to Israel? Senator JD Vance has pointed out how absurd this is, and he’s absolutely right. Why are they trying to make it so difficult to help our friends in Israel? It’s just shameful! And let’s not forget about securing the border. The Biden administration could do it themselves, but they’d rather play politics than protect our country.
And don’t even get started on the talk of “humanitarian assistance to Palestinian civilians.” The White House is missing the mark on this one. We all know that aid to Palestinians often ends up in the hands of Hamas terrorists. So, by trying to push this narrative, the Biden administration is only making matters worse.
Speaker Johnson hit the nail on the head when he called Biden’s veto threat “a betrayal of our great ally and friend Israel.” Israel is fighting for its survival, and they need our support. The fact that Biden is even considering vetoing a clean funding measure for them is outrageous and unacceptable. He’s going to hear about this, for sure!
Even with Republicans in charge, there’s no guarantee that the aid package for Israel will pass the chamber. The House Freedom Caucus is disappointed with the standalone bill, and rightly so, when there are other ways to pay for it without getting tied up in political games. It’s time for the Democrats to put their pettiness aside and do what’s right for Israel and our national security.
