Rep. Mike Lawler said Sunday on Newsmax that he agrees aid to Israel must be set up separately, not combined with other funding issues in President Joe Biden's $105 billion proposal, adding that it's "disturbing" to see people turning their backs on Israel "the moment they defended themselves."
In his Oval Office address earlier this month, Biden announced a $105 billion funding bill to Congress. It includes $61.4 billion for Ukraine, $14.3 billion for Israel, $9.15 billion for humanitarian efforts for Palestinian, Israeli, and Ukrainian civilians, $13.6 billion for border security, and $7.4 billion for the Indo-Pacific region, which includes Taiwan, according to a New York Times breakdown of the request.
Meanwhile, new House Speaker Mike Johnson is "representing the views of a lot of members of my conference" who want to see the aid for Israel separated from the rest of Biden's aid package, said Lawler.
