U.S. House fails to pass GOP effort to provide Israel with $17b in standalone aid

A $17.6 billion standalone package for Israel aid failed to pass in the House due to opposition from both Republican and Democratic leaders.
House Speaker Mike Johnson brought up the bill under a procedure requiring a two-thirds majority, but failed to garner enough support from Democrats.
Democrats remained opposed to the bill, concerned it would leave no way to provide more aid to Ukraine. The bill gained more Democratic support than a previous vote but still fell short.
