A bipartisan group of 90 members of Congress has called on House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) to bring up the Senate-passed bill that would give $95 billion in assistance to Ukraine and Israel, the latter of which was attacked by Iran over the weekend.

In a succinct four-sentence letter on April 15, the members cited the weekend strike that Iran launched on the Jewish state as the basis for the need to urgently bring up the measure, which passed the Senate in February.
