I heard on NPR that Johnson said he wanted to separate Biden's aid request for #israel from #Ukraine and humanitarian aid for Gaza civilians. This to me suggests that GOP will make Israel aid contingent on abandoning Ukraine to Russia, and abandoning compassion for Palestinian civilians. All three could now likely be lost.

@peterquirk I hope his future votes and more importantly his actions as speaker follow that claim rather than his past votes.
My fear is he will separate Israel aid, Ukraine aid, and Palestinian civilian aid, and as a consequence none will pass.
@walterbays #politics Johnson claims to be anti-Russia/pro-Ukraine.
