The team of the American leader Joe Biden said that he does not support the bill on supporting Israel without assistance to Ukraine. In the White House, this step is considered a "cynical political maneuver".
The Biden administration continues to fight for aid for Ukraine
White House spokeswoman Karin Jean-Pierre made a statement on this matter.
She pointed out that for several months the US president's team has been working with a bipartisan group of senators on a national security deal that would protect the US border and provide support to Ukraine and Israel.
Just when the legislative project is almost ready, Republicans in the House of Representatives resort to a cynical political maneuver, she noted.
The White House team once again reminded American politicians that Israel's security should not be a "political game".
We strongly oppose this prank, which does not provide border protection, does nothing to help the people of Ukraine protect themselves from Putin's aggression, and denies humanitarian aid to the Palestinian civilian population..., Karin Jean-Pierre added.
According to a White House spokeswoman, House Republicans must work on these pressing national security issues in a bipartisan format, just as the administration and the Senate are doing."
What is known about the new decision of the House of Representatives regarding Ukraine
On February 3, the speaker of the US House of Representatives, Mike Johnson, officially announced that he will soon hold a vote on a bill to accelerate the allocation of $17.6 billion in security aid to Israel without any other conditions, including aid to Ukraine.
The editors of The New York Times have already come to the conclusion that it can have extremely negative consequences.
The move could further undermine support for the compromise, which has already come under fire from party leaders such as Johnson and former President Donald Trump, reporters warned.
