The Senate is facing a deadlock over the passage of a bipartisan House Israel aid bill. Senate Democrats have blocked the bill multiple times, with the latest vote resulting in the rejection of the aid package. The situation is critical as a simple-majority threshold vote is being used, leaving Democrats with almost no margin for error. The issue seems to be linked to the lack of funding for Ukraine, as Senate Democrats cite it as a reason for blocking the Israel aid package. GOP senator Ted Cruz is working to force a vote to make every Democrat go on the record regarding their stance on the aid bill.

Senate Votes Against Aid to Israel Yet Again https://t.co/ahCVLcVhp1
From colleague Tyler Olson. The Senate is now voting on a motion to table consideration of the Israel aid bill. This is at a simple-majority threshold, meaning Democrats have almost no margin for error if they are to block Marshall's procedural gambit.
The House of Representatives passed military aid to Israel. Senate Democrats are holding it up because they think that funding their weaponized IRS agents is more important than standing with our ally. I am working to force a vote so that every Democrat has to go on the record. https://t.co/NuWC7iIb18
