The bill has overwhelming GOP support, particularly after Biden threatened last week that he would <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/house-republicans-target-biden-after-pausing-weapons-shipments-to-israel\/\" title=\"House Republicans criticize Biden for halting arms deliveries to Israel\">stop providing artillery shells<\/a> and other weapons to Israel if it invaded the city of Rafah. <\/p>\n<figure><figcaption>From left, GOP Conference Chairwoman Elise Stefanik (R-NY), Speaker of the House Mike Johnson (R-LA), House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-LA), and Majority Whip Tom Emmer (R-MN) speak to reporters about President Joe Biden pausing a shipment of bombs to Israel, at the Capitol in Washington, Thursday, May 16, 2024.

Dan Goldman (D-NY) told reporters on Wednesday. \u201cEverything it calls for, the administration is already doing. And it is just yet another example of the Republicans using Israel and antisemitism for their own political purposes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Despite passing the House, the bill faces an uphill battle in the Democratic-led Senate, where Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) has already said the measure is \u201cgoing nowhere.\u201d Even if it did manage to pass the Senate, Biden has already threatened to veto the resolution should it make it to his desk. <\/p>\n<p>That threat angered House GOP leadership, who accused Democrats of putting one of the country\u2019s allies at risk as it fights off the Hamas militant group. House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) called on Schumer to bring the legislation to the Senate floor hours before the vote, saying Congress \u201cneeds to help Israel extinguish the flame of terror that is wrought by Hamas.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou are either with Israel or you are not,\u201d Johnson said. \u201cIf Schumer refuses to bring this up for a vote, he\u2019ll be telling the world that his party, the Democrats, are no longer willing to stand with our great allies.
