        U.S. House of Representatives Speaker Mike Johnson said on Sunday he would try to pass aid to Israel this week after Iran's mass drone and missile attack, but he did not say whether the legislation would also include assistance for Ukraine and other allies.
        
        Johnson, who is struggling to unify his fractious Republican majority and avoid an ouster threat, recounted two failed attempts to pass standalone aid for Israel.
        
        "We're going to try again this week, and the details of that package are being put together right now. We're looking at the options, and all these supplemental issues," Johnson told Fox News' "Sunday Morning Futures" program.
        
        Johnson's office declined to provide further details
