House Speaker Mike Johnson said Monday that he plans to put aid for Israel up for a vote, by separating the funding from other more controversial aid packages to Ukraine.
The vote would come during a time of increasing public pressure on Congress and the White House. Large-scale protests were held across the nation Monday to send a coordinated message to Congress and the White House calling for more U.S. pressure on Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to stop civilian casualties and increase humanitarian aid to Palestinians in the Gaza war.
Iran up to this point has been following a doctrine which is known as "strategic patience" with Israel, harassing Israel with allies around the country, but not directly getting involved," Behrooz said.Behrooz says Iranian news outlets are claiming victory, even though Israel, with the help of the U.S. and other allies, shot down most of the hundreds of drones and missiles Iran fired Saturday.
