Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., vowed to kill the House-passed bill providing $14.3 billion in aid to Israel in response to the Hamas terrorist attack.

"The Senate will not take up the House GOP's deeply flawed proposal," Schumer said on the Senate floor just ahead of the final House vote on Thursday. "Instead we will work together on our own bipartisan emergency aid package that includes aid to Israel, Ukraine, competition with the Chinese government, and humanitarian aid for Gaza."

Schumer described the House bill as an "unserious and woefully inadequate aid package," adding that President Biden has vowed to veto the legislation. 

He noted that the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office reported that the House's standalone Israel aid bill would add "over twelve billion to the budget deficit."
