On Monday, the US Senate issued a bill on border security and aid to Ukraine and Israel, which includes a budget totaling $118 billion.
According to American media reports, it was decided to divide the budget of the draft law issued by the Council, allocating $60 billion for military assistance to Ukraine, and $20.23 billion to address the American border crisis (that is, three times less than the aid provided to Ukraine).
It was also decided to grant $14.1 billion to Israel, and allocate $10 billion to humanitarian aid, including to Gaza, the West Bank, and Ukraine, as well as $2.33 billion to Ukrainian refugees.
The Council allocated $2.44 billion for American operations related to the conflict in the Red Sea and strikes directed at the Ansar Allah group, while it allocated $26.15 billion to replenish the stock of American weapons provided to Ukraine, Taiwan, and Israel, and finally $4.83 billion for measures to “deter China” in the Indo-Pacific region.
For his part, US President Joe Biden supported the draft law, and also called on Congress to quickly approve it.
