Ukraine-Israel Aid Package Clears Major Hurdle in Senate

The Ukraine-Israel Aid Package Act, which provides $500 million in military assistance to Ukraine and $1 billion in loan guarantees to Israel, has cleared a major hurdle in the Senate. The bill passed the Senate Foreign Relations Committee with a unanimous vote of 21-0, indicating strong bipartisan support. The aid package is intended to strengthen Ukraine's defense capabilities against Russian aggression and to support Israel's security needs in the face of regional threats. The bill now moves to the full Senate for consideration.
