Johnson \u2064boldly stated, \u201cThis is a matter of\u200c <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/a-matter-of-good-versus-evil-mike-johnson-champions-aid-to-israel\/\" title=\"Mike Johnson advocates for supporting Israel in the ongoing conflict, emphasizing the importance of distinguishing between good and evil.\">good versus \u200devil<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>Seeking Common Ground: Stand-Alone Israel Aid Package<\/h3>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">McEnany delved into the topic of a stand-alone\u2064 Israel aid package, highlighting \u2064the upcoming vote scheduled for Thursday. She asked Johnson about the proposed $14.5 billion and the possibility \u200dof\u2062 a bipartisan\u2062 vote.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cI sure hope so,\u201d Johnson replied, expressing his desire for bipartisan support.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Curious \u200cabout the \u2064number\u200b of Democrats\u2062 who might support the aid\u200b package, McEnany inquired\u2064 further.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cI hope that it\u2019s most or all of\u2063 them,\u201d Johnson responded. \u201cI mean, there\u2019s a few people who \u2062have philosophical \u2062differences on that and we\u2019ll have some\u2062 intense debates about their opposition \u200cto that. But, look, this is a \u2064matter of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/whats-next-great-awakening-or-great-reset\/\" title=\"What\u2019s Next? Great Awakening or Great Reset?\">good versus evil<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>Redirecting Funds for \u2062Israel&#8217;s Urgent Needs<\/h3>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Johnson revealed his intention to repurpose funds allocated \u2063by the Biden administration\u2064 for expanding the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) to assist Israel. He explained, \u201cMy intention and \u2064my desire in the first \u2064draft of this bill is to take \u200bsome \u2063of the money that has been set aside for the \u2062building and the bulking up of \u2064the \u200bIRS right now. We have\u2064 about \u2063$67 billion in that fund and we\u2019ll\u2064 try to take the $14.5 necessary for this immediate \u200band urgent need.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Recognizing the \u200bBiden \u2062administration&#8217;s priority to strengthen\u200d the IRS, Johnson appealed to the American people&#8217;s judgment. \u200cHe stated, \u201cI think if you put\u2064 this to the American \u2062people and they weigh the two needs \u2014\u2062 I think they\u2019re going to say standing with Israel and protecting the innocent \u200dover there is in our \u2062national interest.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">President Biden secured $80 billion through the Inflation Reduction Act for IRS expansion, with approximately $21 billion removed as part of \u2062a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/we-have-to-de-weaponize-manchin-chides-schumer-for-hammering-republicans-after-debt-ceiling-vote\/\" title=\"\u2018We Have To De-Weaponize\u2019: Manchin Chides Schumer For Hammering Republicans After Debt Ceiling Vote\">debt ceiling deal<\/a> \u200bin June.<\/p>\n<h3>Rep.

We have heard from Israel leaders who say they \u200dare running out of money for the Iron\u2063 Dome system, which is the defense mechanism to intercept these rockets\u2064 and protect Israeli citizens. And so, we\u2019re not going to sit by and do nothing while Israel is facing an existential threat.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">He argued that supporting\u2062 Israel in its battle \u2064against terrorism is not just a matter of politics, but a moral obligation.
