Senate Urges House To Pass National Security Aid Package

Schumer speaks to reporters at the Capitol in Washington

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer urged the GOP-led House to take action on the bipartisan Senate-passed national security aid package, which includes funding for Israel following the recent Iranian attack. Schumer emphasized the importance of swift action, stating that passing the Senate's bipartisan national security supplemental would be the most effective way to support Israel in light of the current situation.

However, the House has not yet voted on the Senate-approved legislation. Many House conservatives have expressed opposition to providing additional aid to Ukraine and have pushed for stricter border policies to be included in the aid package.
