                           UKRAINE-ISRAEL AID

  (Ms. MANNING asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. MANNING. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to call out the hypocrisy of 
Republicans who claim they want to support our democratic allies but 
won't put words to action.
  The Speaker is leading a delegation to Normandy to commemorate the 
defeat of a destructive, brutal dictator by the United States and its 
Allies in World War II, yet he refuses to bring forward the Senate 
emergency aid bill that would help our democratic ally Ukraine defeat 
one of today's most brutal dictators, Vladimir Putin.
  That very same Senate bill would also provide much-needed support to 
our democratic ally Israel as it continues its battle against the 
terrorist group Hamas, which savagely attacked Israel on October 7 and 
continues to hold more than 100 hostages, including Americans.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask my good friends on the other side of the aisle: 
Will Republicans stand up to the far-right extremists and call for the 
Speaker to bring the Senate aid bill to the floor?
  In the name of defending freedom and democracy, I urge my colleagues 
to do what the majority knows is right for our country and the future 
of the free world.
