Hour 1 -
Happy Halloween! Here's what Nick covers this hour:
House Speaker Mike Johnson on Monday announced legislation to provide Israel with $14.3 billion in aid amid Jerusalem's ongoing conflict with the terrorist group Hamas. The package would deliver the sum requested by President Biden in his own security package.
Unlike the White House plan, however, the House plan would provide aid solely to Israel and offer no support to Ukraine.
Offsetting the cost, however, would be matching cuts to the Internal Revenue Service.
An Israeli government ministry has drafted a wartime proposal to transfer the Gaza Strip’s 2.3 million people to Egypt’s Sinai peninsula, drawing condemnation from the Palestinians and worsening tensions with Cairo.
