That package sought to combine aid for Israel, Ukraine, and Taiwan \u2014 a proposal that Johnson deemed \u201cdead on arrival\u201d in the House. <\/p>\n<p>Lawmakers in the lower chamber had explored alternative ways to advance foreign aid without success resulting in a monthslong impasse. <\/p>\n<p>However, congressional leaders were pressured to move quickly on providing foreign aid after Iran launched a missile attack on Israel over the weekend, escalating tensions in the Middle East as Israel wages a war on the Hamas militant group that began after the Oct. 7 attack.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s not yet clear what the funding levels will be for the four spending bills, but Johnson told reporters on Monday they would be roughly the same as those in the Senate supplemental bill he had refused to advance. <\/p>\n<p>The details of the fourth spending bill that includes national security measures has not been entirely hashed out, according to several lawmakers. However, it\u2019s likely to include the TikTok ban that already passed the House earlier this year as well as the REPO Act, a proposal to seize frozen Russian assets and transfer them to the Ukrainian government to fight against the Kremlin. <\/p>\n<p>Several Republicans expressed support for the plan, lauding the proposal to vote on each of the funding packages separately. However, not all members were on board \u2014 including Rep. Majorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), who has been vocally opposed to providing aid to Ukraine for months and has threatened Johnson\u2019s job by filing a motion to vacate the speakership.<\/p>\n<p>Greene emerged from a closed-door meeting with Johnson and other GOP lawmakers visibly upset with Johnson, calling his plan a \u201cscam.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s not yet clear how quickly the House will move forward with voting on the four bills as legislative text has not yet been finalized. Under House rules, leaders must provide lawmakers 72 hours to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/mtg-presents-case-for-removing-johnson-as-speaker-in-appeal-to-house-gop\/\" title=\"MTG urges House GOP to reconsider Speaker Johnson's position\">review bill text<\/a> before bringing it to the floor for a vote, which could drag the process into the weekend. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\"><strong>CLICK HERE TO READ MORE FROM THE WASHINGTON EXAMINER<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe will honor the 72-hour rule,\u201d Johnson said. \u201cThat probably means that if we get bill text sometime early [Tuesday] \u2014 that\u2019s the hope, that\u2019s the ambition \u2014 then that probably puts us into perhaps Friday evening.
