About this sermon
The road ahead for aid to Israel is getting complicated. The House is working on a stand alone bill after House Speaker Mike Johnson announced he would bring the measure to the floor. It's now competing against a different version, part of the Senate's foreign aid package. This is quite an about face for Speaker Mike Johnson. The House last fall passed a $14 billion aid bill for Israel, paid for by taking money from the IRS. That version has gone no where in the Senate. Now Speaker Johnson is backing a $17 billion with no set plan to pay for it. He says the situation has gotten much more dangerous and aid to Israel is critical. Representative Johnson says, "We need to stand with Israel right now and we cannot wait any longer. Desperate times call for desperate measures, that's exactly what we are going to do. I want to say also last night shockingly the president threatened to veto a stand alone Israel bill." But Members of the House Freedom Caucus are not on board, saying Johnson is surrendering and questioning how it's going to be paid for. House Democrat Leader Hakeem Jeffries claims the Speaker's plan undermines the Senate's bipartisan effort.
