Drew Angerer/Getty Images/AFPPresident Joe Biden wants Congress to quickly pass billions of dollars in new aid for both Israel and Ukraine, but the Republican-controlled lower chamber on Thursday is set to consider a bill that puts Kyiv on the back burner.
Both Democrats and Republicans in Congress want to promptly adopt military aid for Israel, a long-standing US partner at war with Hamas.Washington is Kyiv’s biggest military backer, having committed tens of billions of dollars since Russia invaded in February 2022. The situation is drastically different in the Democrat-controlled Senate, where most Republicans have voiced support for boosting aid to Ukraine.
Aware that war fatigue is growing in some US political circles, Biden has decided to couple his aid request for Ukraine — over $61 billion — with that for Israel, around $14 billion.The 80-year-old Democrat has also asked for some $9 billion to respond to international humanitarian crises, including in the Gaza Strip, while sweetening the deal for conservatives with billions of dollars requested for US border security and projects aimed at countering China.
