U.S. Rep. Mike Johnson (R-LA) on Saturday was pushed from conservatives and liberals alike to bring to the floor a bill on foreign aid for Ukraine and Israel.
On Saturday, it was reported that Iran had launched more than 100 drones toward Israel, which is still battling Hamas in a bloody conflict that began with an October onslaught from Gaza.
It didn't take long for a bipartisan pressure campaign to hit Johnson, who has recently been withholding foreign aid bills.

Conservative Bill Kristol said in response to the recently reported attacks, "Put the Ukraine and Israel aid package on the floor of the House Monday."
Reuters journalist Tommy Lund said, "The Ukraine/Israel aid bill will have a new dimension now."
Rep. Jared Moskowitz (D-FL) said to Johnson: "I implore you to put a supplemental on the floor Monday night that supports our allies against Iran."
Alyssa Farah Griffin, a former aide during Donald Trump's administration, went even further, suggesting the U.S. House of Representatives could even be responsible.
"There’ll be a lot of debate over whether this attack on Israel would’ve happened with someone else in the White House. Let’s not forget: America’s adversaries are also watching Congress’ inaction," she wrote. "Iran sees a House failing to pass aid to Israel & Ukraine & is attacking both."
Democratic campaign finance executive Jon Cooper also chimed in:
"Russia, Iran and Hamas are military allies, so providing aid to Ukraine indirectly helps Israel. The blocking of U.S. aid to Ukraine by Trump and Mike Johnson emboldens our adversaries and makes our own nation less safe," he wrote Saturday. "The House MUST vote on the Ukraine/Israel/Taiwan aid bill."
For his part, this is what Speaker Johnson had to say on the matter.
"As Israel faces this vicious attack from Iran, America must show our full resolve to stand with our critical ally. The world must be assured: Israel is not alone. I will continue to engage with the White House to insist upon a proper response. The Biden Administration’s undermining of Israel and appeasement of Iran have contributed to these terrible developments."
