US Senate to vote on standalone foreign aid package including Ukraine After failure of previous bill included border security measures, new bill military assistance for Ukraine and Israel and humanitarian funds for Gaza and West Bank.
Senate will reconvene Thursday to vote on a supplemental funding bill that would send billions of dollars to Ukraine and Israel, after a bipartisan border and national security package failed to advance on Wednesday.
Like the bipartisan bill, the foreign aid package would include military assistance for Ukraine, security assistance for Israel and humanitarian assistance for civilians in Ukraine, Gaza and the West Bank. The bill would not include the US border security measures outlined in the bipartisan bill, although some Republican senators expressed interest in adding border provisions through an amendment process.
Senate held an initial vote on foreign aid package on Wednesday, in which 58 members supported advancing it. But 60 votes will ultimately be required to approve the bill, so there is currently not enough support to get the legislation passed in the Senate.
Republicans’ standalone Israel aid bill fails in House vote.
