House GOP Wants $14.3 Billion in Israel Aid to Be Paid for by Cuts to Biden’s Inflation Reduction Act

The House released on Oct. 30 its supplemental bill to send assistance to Israel, which has been under attack by Hamas since Oct. 7.

The U.S. House, where Republicans hold a small majority, on Oct. 30 released its supplemental bill to send assistance to Israel, which has been under a barrage of attacks by the terrorist group Hamas since Oct. 7.

The measure allocates the $14.3 billion requested by the Biden administration, but offsets that amount with the same number in cuts to IRS funding under the Inflation Reduction Act—a nonstarter for Democrats.
