The $17.6 billion Israel aid bill was shot down by
a vote of 250-180 on Feb.
6, Politico reports.
.
While close to four dozen Democrats approved the measure, over a dozen Republicans voted against it.
.
The White House has called the move a "cynical political maneuver" as Republicans have rejected a border security-foreign aid deal brought by the Senate.
.
It's just a political stunt by the
Republicans and the speaker.
This political stuff does not include
any humanitarian assistance, Rep.
Rosa DeLauro (D-Conn.), ranking member of the Appropriations Committee, via statement.
An Israel aid bill that included IRS cuts
was cleared by the House in November
but lost traction in the Senate.

boldly and decisively to defend
Israel and our own citizens, Speaker Mike Johnson alongside Amir Ohana,
speaker of the Israeli Knesset, via statement.
Rep.
Steny Hoyer previously asked
Speaker Mike Johnson to bring foreign assistance bills to the floor individually.
Not putting humanitarian aid in this bill is a
despicable continuation of Republican policy,
which says to the American people and the
rest of the world: You're on your own, Rep.
Steny Hoyer (D-Md.), via statement.
Progressives also want support for Palestinians, Politico reports.
.
There's no conditions on any aid and there's
horrific stuff going on.
There's no Ukraine
aid in here.
This is just a way for Speaker
Johnson to try to change the discussion, Rep.

In a shocking revelation, Kamal Kharrazi, a senior adviser to Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, has raised alarm bells with his recent statements hinting at a possible shift in Iran's nuclear policy. Speaking to the Hezbollah-affiliated channel Al-Mayadeen, Kharrazi suggested that if Iran perceives an "existential threat," it might reconsider its longstanding ban on nuclear weapons development. This announcement comes amid escalating tensions with Israel and follows a history of warnings from Iranian officials regarding military responses to Israeli actions. Kharrazi underscored Iran's technical capabilities to produce nuclear weapons, emphasising that only a fatwa from Khamenei currently restrains such developments. The statement adds fuel to fears of a nuclear arms race in the region, as Khamenei has consistently maintained that building nuclear bombs is both wrong and religiously forbidden
