US senators’ $70 billion plan to help Ukraine and Israel.
After several months of negotiations, the representatives of the US Senate unveiled a comprehensive bill that includes various provisions to “provide border security” and provide military aid to Ukraine to confront Russia and the Israeli regime for advancing the war in Gaza.
A US government official said in an interview with the media that this $118 billion plan will provide ammunition for Israel’s defense systems, as well as provide funding for the US Army’s Central Command to advance its operations in Iraq, Syria and Yemen.
The Washington Post writes that the said bill also has provisions to deter immigrants from crossing the Mexico-US border; An issue that has become a topic of fierce debate between Republicans and the Biden administration in recent months.
Despite this, a number of senior members of the US Congress on both the right and left sides have opposed this legislative plan, even before seeing it. “Mike Johnson”, the Speaker of the House of Representatives, said that the plan will be rejected as soon as it enters this House.
