John Kirby says Biden would veto Israel-only supplemental package if passed by Congress
Coordinator for Strategic Communications at the National Security Council John Kirby said during a press briefing that President Biden would veto an Israel-only supplemental package if passed by Congress.
"The president would veto an only-Israel bill. I think that we've made that clear," Kirby said during a White House press conference on Tuesday.
Kirby's remarks came as House Republicans prepared to vote on a $14.3 billion Israel-only aid package.
The bill would offset the aid to Israel by taking away funding from the Inflation Reduction Act, specifically targeting the $80 billion given to the IRS.
When pressed by a reporter on the administration's stance with an Israel-only supplemental package, Kirby said its position has been made clear.
"I think in our statement of administration policy, we laid out very clearly why we wouldn't want to do that and why we think that of the things we've asked for in the supplemental [are] important," he said.
In a statement of administration policy released Tuesday, the White House said it "strongly opposes House passage of the Israel Security Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2024."....
=======================
So Joe may prevent Israel from receiving funding. He sure doesn't care about the Jews. I hope Jewish voters take note of this. The House passed the Israel only aid package today. They House is trying to show fiscal responsibility. I agree with giving Israel the money but we are 32 TRILLION dollars in debt and it is time to stop spending like a drunk at a strip bar.
