The White House came out on April 15 in opposition to any standalone bill to give assistance to Israel in the aftermath of Iran attacking the Jewish state over the weekend.

“We are opposed to a standalone bill that would just work on Israel, as we’ve seen proposed. We would oppose a standalone bill, yes,” said White House national security spokesman John Kirby.
