Iranian Attack On Israel Will "Probably" Help Ukraine Aid - Apps Ctte Cole

Rep Tom Cole (R-OK), the chair of the US House of Representatives Appropriations Committee, has told reporters that the Iranian missile attack on Israel has "probably" helped push House Republicans towards legislating a new supplemental package which includes aid for Israel and Ukraine.

  • Cole said on the supplemental: "Israel is front and center.. there are several options... What happened in Israel, there is strong, bipartisan determination to move quickly."
  • As House Speaker Mike Johnson did yesterday, Cole didn't rule out putting out three separate bills for Israel, Ukraine, and Taiwan: "Do you want three tough votes or do you want one," but said he doesn't know what the final decision will be.
  • Asked if the Iranian attack could help make the case for Ukraine, Cole said, "It probably did," adding: "There’s substantial support on our side."
  • Expanding on Ukraine, Cole said: "It’s not going to take long to do. There’s broad agreement on everything but Ukraine... we would have been doing the supplemental anyway... I want to do this as quickly as possible."
  • Speaker Johnson has three imperfect options. 1. He could put the the USD$95 billion Senate bill and risk being ousted by hardline conservatives. 2. He could attempt to pass a standalone Israel bill which could kill any chance of Ukraine aid in the future. 3. He could put forward a new compromise package which would be at risk of sinking under amendments from conservatives and progressive Democrats.
