US President Joe Biden asked Congress last week to approve a $106 billion security package that couples $61.4 billion in additional assistance for Ukraine with another $14.3 billion in aid for Israel, which is fighting Palestinian group Hamas, as well as $10.6 billion for US border security.

"We are going to move a standalone Israel funding bill this week in the House, I know our Republican colleagues in the Senate have a similar measure," Johnson said during an interview with US media.

The speaker also noted that this measure could receive support from both Democrats and Republicans.
