Senate Approves Advancement of Ukraine and Israel Aid Bill Towards Final Passage

Reading Time: < 1 minute

The Senate voted overwhelmingly on Tuesday night to approve a $95.3 billion aid package for Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan, marking a significant victory for President Biden and a clear message of bipartisan support for upholding the international order.

After facing resistance from right-wing lawmakers, the House passed the aid package in four pieces, including provisions for each ally and a measure to ban TikTok nationwide. The Senate’s final vote of 79 to 18 reflected a strong consensus in favor of the aid, with Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer emphasizing the importance of American unity in times of global crisis.

The aid package, which includes $60.8 billion for Ukraine, $26.4 billion for Israel, and $8.1 billion for the Indo-Pacific region, also includes new rounds of sanctions on Iranian and Russian officials. While some lawmakers opposed the measure, the majority saw it as a crucial step in supporting allies and deterring aggression.

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell underscored the significance of providing Ukraine with the necessary weapons to defend itself against Russian aggression, calling the aid package a test of American resolve and leadership. Ukrainian officials expressed gratitude for the impending passage of the bill, highlighting the strong partnership between the United States and Ukraine in the face of adversity.

The passage of the aid package represents a significant moment in U.S. foreign policy and demonstrates a commitment to supporting allies and upholding democratic values on the global stage.
