Republican Study Committee Chairman Kevin Hern and U.S. Senator JD Vance have issued a joint statement calling for the passage of a standalone Israel aid bill. The statement also criticizes ongoing negotiations regarding the border and Ukraine aid, characterizing them as a policy failure.

In their statement, Chairman Hern and Senator Vance express their concern over the attempts to trade Ukraine aid for a bill that would secure America's border. They assert that the border negotiation has been unsuccessful and call for a shift in focus towards issues that unite Republicans rather than divide them.

The statement commends the Speaker for standing firm against what they perceive as a bad border deal. Chairman Hern and Senator Vance urge the Speaker to put a clean, un-offset Israel bill on the floor of the House immediately. They denounce the political games being played by House and Senate Democrats on the issue of Israel and emphasize the need to address it without delay.

Chairman Hern and Senator Vance's statement highlights the importance of prioritizing the aid to Israel and emphasizes the need for bipartisan support on this matter.
