The Biden administration is drafting a $100 billion aid package that includes money for Ukraine and the war in Israel along with domestic issues such as border protection.
No details have been finalized yet, but it’s expected that a large sum of the money will be Ukraine aid. The package could be sent to Congress as early as Friday, after President Biden returns from Israel.
There is broad support in Congress for quickly getting aid to Israel after the terrorist group Hamas’ surprise attack on Oct. 7 that killed at least 1,400 people in the Jewish state. Senate Majority Leader Chuck E. Schumer, New York Democrat, returned Monday to Washington after leading a bipartisan delegation to Israel. He announced that the Senate would move within days to pass a resolution supporting Israel which would include funds to help them.
“This package must move quickly, a package of military aid, the necessities that Israel needs,” he said on the Senate floor. “We talked to the leadership of Israel about what they need, and it will be in this package.” Ukraine aid, however, has been a constant cause of contention in the House. Additional funding for Ukraine in the 2024 spending bill was a nonstarter for House Republicans, while House Democrats and the Senate have been pushing for it.Still, any funding is on pause due to the turmoil in the House as Republicans try to find a permanent speaker after the ousted of Speaker Kevin McCarthy, California Republican.
