President Joe Biden would veto the House GOP bill to provide supplemental funding to Israel and strip funding to the Internal Revenue Service, the White House announced on Oct. 31.

The bill would provide $14.3 billion in assistance to Israel, which has come under terrorist attacks by Hamas and Hezbollah and has a major counterattack underway in Gaza. The measure would take away that same amount in funding to the IRS allocated under the Inflation Reduction Act—a nonstarter for Democrats.
