WASHINGTON, D.C. — House Speaker Mike Johnson said he would try to advance aid for Ukraine and Israel in a national security package this week, despite pressure from a flank of Republicans skeptical of more Ukraine aid.

Defense hawks have called for passing aid for Israel and Ukraine, especially in the wake of Iran’s attack on Israel over the weekend.

“I think it will have overwhelming support both for Ukraine, Israel and Asia packages, not just because of what’s happened with Iran escalating the conflict in the Middle East, but because these are allies that need and deserve our support,” said Rep. Mike Turner, R-Ohio, who chairs the House Intelligence Committee.

Johnson said after passing the federal budget, he would turn his attention to the national security supplemental.

He has been sitting on a $95 billion aid bill that passed in the Senate two months ago, largely due to Republicans’ divided support for Ukraine aid. Whether he brings the Senate bill or another proposal up for a vote, he will face the same opposition from his own conference.

Several Republicans warned the Speaker could be putting his job at risk if he combines aid for multiple countries in one bill.

“I think it will be a real risk for the Speaker to move a giant package,” said Rep. Warren Davidson, R-Ohio, a member of the House Freedom Caucus. “The way to navigate it is to give a vote on individual bills. You could vote on Ukraine. You could vote on Israel. You could vote on the Pacific.”

If Johnson doesn’t act, though, some Republicans said they would consider working with Democrats to force a vote on the measure through a maneuver called a discharge petition.

“If he doesn’t or whatever he proposes is not going to fly, then there are a couple of options that are out there, and I’m willing to entertain any option that gets our allies the money that they need in their time of need,” said Rep. Dave Joyce, R-Ohio.

With a razor-thin majority, Republicans will almost certainly need to work with Democrats to pass the bill. If that triggers an effort to remove Johnson as Speaker, many Democrats have signaled they would vote to defeat it in exchange for putting the Senate bill on the floor.
