Iran's strike on Israel has drawn swift reaction from US Congress, with Democrats imploring House Speaker Mike Johnson to bring up the Senate foreign aid package. Meanwhile, Republicans are calling on Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer to act on Israel only, APA reports.
House Majority Leader Steve Scalise formally announced an update to the House schedule to consider legislation “that supports our ally Israel” and holds Iran accountable without providing specifics on what that legislation would be.
Scalise added that more details would be coming on exact legislation and it’s unclear at this point if it is purely a messaging bill or an aid package.
“In light of Iran’s unjustified attack on Israel, the House will move from its previously announced legislative schedule next week to instead consider legislation that supports our ally Israel and holds Iran and its terrorist proxies accountable,” the GOP leader said in a statement.
