Biden, added Shapiro, is to meet with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, but gave no date for the meeting. "It is clear that there will be a meeting at the appropriate time, but it is also clear that right now all the concentration and attention, even in Israel, is going to internal matters, such as fighting the [proposed judicial reforms], the demonstrations and the legislation."

The president's fiscal 2024 budget due Thursday will likely include increased spending, but House Republicans want to keep fiscal 2022 levels.

That is about half of what Democrats allowed in the last spending package — more than $16 billion. That may ultimately culminate in a series of minibuses of multiple spending bills moving through the Senate floor as a way to speed up their consideration. The title of his budget proposal is “A Commitment to End Woke and Weaponized Government.” Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) lamented the glacial pace of the process in an interview with CBS’ Face the Nation yesterday. “The woke screen is a smoke screen.” It’s the only place to start,” McCarthy said during a Feb. “He believes we have to grow this economy from the bottom up and the middle out.” Such a promise would mean large cuts to wide swaths of the federal government — about $130 billion from fiscal 2023 levels, total. Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) agreed to freeze discretionary spending at fiscal 2022 levels. The policy push is sure to run into Republican opposition. Broad brushstrokes on the plan have already started to emerge. While Congress routinely dismisses the president’s blueprint, this year’s version will come under even greater scrutiny as House Republicans look to square off against the White House.
