New Mike Johnson (R-La.) advised Republican senators that U.S. military aid to Israel should be addressed independently, separate from a larger funding package that includes Ukraine, Taiwan, and the U.S. southern border. Johnson expressed support for aid to Ukraine but emphasized the need for reforms to enhance border security. He intends to prioritize the passage of an Israel aid bill followed by a Ukraine-border security bill. Johnson's focus on "Israel first" was underscored during the meeting with GOP senators.
