Details: A person familiar with the matter said the Biden administration plans to ask Congress for more money for military aid to Israel after Saturday’s attack by Hamas militants and to Ukraine, which has been fighting a 20-month Russian invasion.
Some Republicans said they would oppose efforts to tie aid to Israel to aid to Ukraine.
Background:
On October 11, US President Joe Biden’s administration privately told members of Congress that the White House was preparing a request for additional funding for Israel, Ukraine, Taiwan and strengthening US border security. Confidence in this support has been shaken by the exclusion of funding for Ukraine from temporary funding of the US federal government, as well as the blocking of the decision-making process in Congress after the resignation of the Speaker of the House of Representatives. Pentagon chief Lloyd Austin, at a meeting with Vladimir Zelensky in Brussels on Wednesday, assured him that the United States would continue to continuously provide Ukraine with the necessary weapons.
