Deep dives

Political divisions over funding Israel and Ukraine

There is a split in the US government over funding for Israel and Ukraine, with the House proposing a separate bill to fund Israel, but President Biden issuing a veto threat. This highlights the political divisions over funding priorities and the challenges of passing legislation related to international affairs. The House bill has paired funding for Israel with an offset that impacts the inflation reduction act and expands the IRS, making it difficult to gain the necessary support. It remains to be seen how this issue will be resolved.
