[HIGHLIGHTS] The Lower House will vote on a law that only includes aid to Israel, without possible security changes on the border

House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-Louisiana, said Saturday that the House will vote next week on a stand-alone bill to provide aid to Israel, without offsetting spending cuts. Johnson made the announcement in an afternoon letter to colleagues as he criticized impending Senate legislation.

Johnson criticized the Senate for what he called its “failure to pass appropriate legislation in a timely manner,” arguing that theHouse needs to act in the absence of upper chamber leadership amid “the dangerous circumstances Israel currently faces”
