This week, the US House of Representatives will vote on an aid package for Israel after the Iranian attack, and money for Ukraine may be included in the package, according to Congressional spokesman Mike Johnson.

This week, the US House of Representatives will vote on aid to Israel after Iran's attack, and money for Ukraine may be part of the package. This was stated by spokesman Mike Johnson, Bloomberg reports, according to UNN.

Details

House Republicans and the Republican Party understand the need to support Israel. The details of this package are being finalized

Johnson said in the Sunday Morning Futures program on Fox News.

According to Johnson, former President Donald Trump supports giving Kyiv loans instead of grants and using Russian assets to pay for new aid. The spokesman believes that these elements could be part of the package.

These are ideas that I think can gain consensus

Johnson said.

Johnson will face the threat of removal from office by Georgia Republican Marjorie Taylor Green if he allows a vote on aid to Ukraine before new restrictions on migration across the southern border of the United States are introduced, the agency reports. However, on Friday, the speaker received decisive support from Trump, who spoke out against any attempts to remove Johnson.
