Senate Democrats blocked a a stand-alone Israel aid package to Israel on Tuesday after it passed the House with bipartisan support Nov. 2.
But Democrats shot down the effort because the package does not include aid to Ukraine. A handful of Republican senators argued the two emergency aid packages should be split up and voted on separately. Jamie Joseph is a writer who covers politics. She leads Fox News Digital coverage of the Senate.
"Though they spend three-fourths of the time telling us why we should fund Ukraine, no one will stand up and say we should not fund Israel now," Marshall said Tuesday in a press conference. "No one has an argument for that. They seem to be allergic to the word ‘Israel.’
"Bring the Ukraine funding to the floor. Let's vote on that."
