Will Trump's people delay aid to Israel in the name of politics?
After an international aid package in the amount of 118 billion dollars was presented in the Senate tonight (between Sunday and Monday) - including about 14 billion dollars for the Israeli security system - the Republicans are threatening not to support it.
Among other things, it is estimated that the Republican Party will not want to give President Joe Biden an achievement before the November elections.
The Speaker of the House of Representatives, Mike Johnson, tweeted on the X account: "I've seen enough, this proposal is worse than we expected, and not close to ending the crisis on the border (with Mexico) that the president created." As part of the aid package, about 20 billion dollars were allocated Among other things, the border guard, and it will also be proposed to tighten the immigration laws.
I've seen enough.
This bill is even worse than we expected, and won't come close to ending the border catastrophe the President has created.
As the lead Democrat negotiator proclaimed: Under this legislation, "the border never closes."
If this bill reaches the House, it will be…

"The Democratic negotiator (Chuck Schumer) argued that under this proposal, the border would never be closed.
If so, the proposal will fall even before it reaches a decision."
Democrats have a relatively small majority in the Senate, which has about 100 members.
According to the details of the aid package presented except for Israel, Ukraine will receive an aid package in the amount of 60 billion dollars if Gaza and the Palestinians in the West Bank receive humanitarian aid from the US in the amount of about 10 billion dollars.
As I recall, on Tuesday the Republicans submitted a separate aid offer to Israel, and the administration rejected it and called it a "Republican exercise".
Were we wrong?
We will fix it!
