Biden has the opportunity to veto the bill. but I'm inclined to believe that he won't.

    ...but I actually agree with you. Biden vetoing Israel funding? hah, fat chance.

    Just rub this article in Liberal faces if he ends up not going for a veto.

    The IRS is saying that the republican israel bill would cut $90 billion for IRS revenue.

    In Biden's proposed bill, he wants to give $61 billion to Ukraine, $14 billion to Israel for "defense", $14 billion to US Mexico border security, and $4 billion to "Countering China's influence in developing countries and Indo-Pacific". Biden's bill only requests $9 billion for "Humanitarian Aid", which is not even limited to Gaza or Palestine.

    Biden said he would veto the republican bill because he wants to spend over $90 billion on war and maybe Palestinians get a fraction of $9 billion for food and medicine.
