Will the US send billions to Israel and Ukraine? And Christiane Amanpour is back!
A pivotal vote on aid looms.
The president has urged Benjamin Netenyahu to βtake the winβ after thwarting an attack from Iran. The question now is how Israel responds, and if Joe Biden has any influence over it. Christiane Amanpour, the British/Iranian chief international anchor for CNN, joins Americast to assess what could happen next.
In Congress thereβs a vote on a pivotal deal that would provide billions of dollars for Ukraine and Israel, and introduce more sanctions for Iran. It could change the course of the conflicts but it could also cost Speaker Mike Johnson his job. Weβre asking whether he can survive yet another MAGA rebellion.
