Well this is also breaking
The US House of Representatives passed the Israel Security Supplemental with a vote of 366-58.
Here's what the package includes:
$26.4 billion to aid Israel
$4 billion for the Iron Dome and David’s Sling missile defense systems
$1.2 billion for the Iron Beam defense system
$4.4 billion to replenish defense items and services provided to Israel
$3.5 billion for the procurement of advanced weapons systems and other items through the Foreign Military Financing Program
$9.2 billion in humanitarian assistance – including emergency food, shelter and basic services – to populations suffering crises
It would also:
Provide additional flexibility for transfers of defense items to Israel from US stockpiles held in other countries
Prohibit sending funds to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency
What's happening: The House passed a foreign aid package Saturday after many Democrats joined GOP Speaker Mike Johnson on Friday to advance the measure to a floor vote. The $95 billion package includes aid for Ukraine, Israel and the Indo-Pacific region. The measures now go to the Senate.
