The US House of Representatives rejected a $17.6 billion standalone Israel aid bill following a veto threat from President Joe Biden.
House lawmakers rejected the bill on Tuesday in a vote of 250-180 under suspension of the rules, which requires two-thirds support for passage.
“House Republicans are bringing forward a measure that provides necessary funds for Israel, as well as funds for the US military in the region who have been targeted since the October 7th attacks,” House Majority Leader Steve Scalise said in a statement on the bill.
