The US Senate may reject President Biden's request for $106 billion in aid to Ukraine and Israel. The decision comes amidst growing problems within the country and divisions within the Republican party. Some Senate Republicans are pro-Ukrainian aid but want to separate the funding from the Israel package. A stand-alone bill to aid Israel without additional funding to Ukraine has been introduced by GOP senators. The bill highlights divisions within the GOP, especially after Senate Leader McConnell backed the package deal.

.@jdvance1 tells me why even Senate Republicans who are pro-Ukrainian aid want to split up the funding from Israel package: “Joe Biden sees a political opportunity in 1400 murdered Israelis… It’s a slap in the face to Israel to tie their fate to the Ukrainian war.” https://t.co/TBUrnwAkFQ
The US Senate may block a $100 billion request to Ukraine and Israel. This is due to disagreements in the upper house of the legislature regarding the combination of aid to both countries in one package. For this reason, the proposal may be blocked or radically changed.
