When House Republicans passed a bill Thursday mandating that President Joe Biden deliver all of the military aid to Israel that Congress recently approved — including the bombs that Biden blocked in response to Israel going on the offensive in the southern part of Gaza — it looked like a classic political maneuver to divide House Democrats.
Now, House Republicans are running a similar play on Democrats in the Senate too.
House GOP leaders are ramping up a pressure campaign to get the Senate to take up the Israel bill, even as Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer swears his chamber won’t give the legislation a vote.
