U.S. President Joe Biden convened a conference call with congressional leaders – Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, Speaker of the House of Representatives Mike Johnson and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries – to discuss the "urgent need" to pass the defense budget package, including aid to Israel. Later, Johnson said that he would try to pass the aid to Israel this week, but did not specify whether he would also approve defense aid to Ukraine and Taiwan. (Daniel Edelson, New York, Reuters)
