Israel will happily help the Egyptians ensure no known Hamas operatives cross into Egypt.

$14Bn Israel aid bill passed 226-196, with 12 Democrats joining most Republicans on a largely party-line vote.

The 12 Democrats who voted with Republicans are among the party’s most pro-Israel lawmakers: Representatives Josh Gottheimer, Jared Moskowitz, Debbie Wasserman Schultz, Lois Frankel, Jared Golden, Juan Vargas, Angie Craig, Don Davis, Greg Landsman, Darren Soto, Haley Stevens and Fredrica Wilson.

Kudos to these Dems for voting yes and ignoring the partisan rhetoric!

sadly Senate dems and WH are playing politics - Biden says he would veto the bill  :(

For the first time the R's put conditions on the EMERGENCY AID!!! This was DOA before it even started.
Now you get to claim the D's are pro-Hamas and want to kill babies.
ROFLMAO!!!

Do you understand what they tried to do? EMERGENCY AID is passed with no conditions. That is why they call it EMERGENCY AID.
Is it stupidity or political blindness?

Can’t the Ds in the Senate pass an identical bill without the conditions and call the R’s bluff?

That is what they (D's & R's) are going to do but some are easily fooled by this ploy.
What does the IRS have to with EMERGENCY AID for Israel.
Someone already answered that, so I won't.  :)

Umm, Biden was the one who first put forth a bill that tied in Ukraine and other forms of aid.

Biden can ask for anything he wants but he doesn't pass bills.

Such clarity from the German vice-chancellor. I think the Hebrew subtitles are a tad better and more accurate than the English ones. Can’t say I agree with everything he said, but if you have question about what happens the day after Hamas is eradicated, this guy can give some pointers.

On AC360 now, Hamas' top-tier soldiers appear to have been killed on 10/7. The IDF has been fighting 2nd tier Hamas soldiers on the ground so far and the IDF has been surprised at how easily they were able to cover ground to fully cut off Gaza City.

Hope they’re proceeding with caution, it could be a trap.
