Biden holds call with Congressional leaders, urging them to pass Israel aid package after Iran attack

US President Joe Biden convened a call earlier today with Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, House Speaker Mike Johnson, and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries to discuss last night’s Iran attack on Israel, the White House says, reported from The Times of Israel.

Biden "discussed the urgent need for the House to pass the national security supplemental as soon as possible,” the White House adds.

The package has been held up by Republicans over opposition to provisions regarding Ukraine and immigration. The supplemental includes more than $14 billion in security aid for Israel.
