Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer has criticized the House Republicans' proposed standalone aid package for Israel, calling it a "joke" and "stunningly unserious" due to its lack of aid to Ukraine, humanitarian assistance to Gaza, and funding for the Indo-Pacific. Schumer has urged Speaker Johnson to "quickly change course" and offered his own solution, promising to stand with Israel's leaders. He concluded his remarks by declaring the House Republicans' proposal "dead almost before it's born" and called for a more comprehensive solution.
