The White House says Joe Biden will veto the House bill which appropriates aid to Israel unless it also contains aid for Ukraine.

And Schumer won’t even take it up in the Senate on the same grounds:
Let me be clear: The Senate will not take up the House GOP's deeply flawed proposal
Instead we will work on our own bipartisan emergency aid package that includes funding for aid to Israel, Ukraine, humanitarian aid including for Gaza, and competition with the Chinese Government

If I were Speaker Johnson I would dare them all and call their bluffs. Maybe he won’t take it up and maybe Biden would veto it. But make them do it! Pass it in the House and force them to reject it.
