The White House opposed the vote to support Israel without aid to Ukraine

The administration of United States President Joe Biden did not support the vote on aid to Israel without allocating funds for Ukraine, which will take place next week. They accused Republicans in the House of Representatives of cynicism.

This is stated in an official statement by press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre regarding the latest Republican bill, published on the White House website . She emphasized that the Biden administration has been working for months with a bipartisan group of senators on the national security agreement.

It must ensure the security of the US southern border, as well as support for Ukraine and Israel. As politicians edged closer to adopting the final text, House Republicans decided to propose "their latest cynical political maneuver." We are talking about their bill to accelerate the allocation of $17.6 billion in aid to Israel without assistance to Ukraine.

“Israel’s security should be a sacred matter, not a political game. We strongly oppose this scam, which does not help secure the border, does not help the people of Ukraine defend themselves from Putin’s aggression and denies humanitarian aid to Palestinian civilians, the majority of whom are women and children.” , which the Israelis supported by opening the access route,” said Jean-Pierre.

She stressed that House Republicans must work in a bipartisan manner on these pressing national security issues, as the administration and Senate do.
