Senators hope to combine Ukraine aid with military assistance for Israel following a failed attempt to pass the controversial funding last month.
Now, senators are mulling Plan B — a supplemental that hitches the aid to emergency assistance for Israel, a close U.S. ally that declared war on Hamas on Sunday in response to terrorist attacks that have killed more than 900 people. For now, the Biden administration has sufficient appropriations to continue supplying the Jewish state, but senators view the bill to be a"proactive" step.
Aid for Taiwan, another geopolitical ally, is also being considered as part of the funding bill. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell suggested in a Monday op-ed that the money be considered this fall. Yet the legislation would face intense opposition from conservatives who question America's open-ended commitment to the war in Ukraine, a conflict that has roughly ground to a stalemate. The conservative Heritage Foundation urged lawmakers to reject joint funding on Monday, and Ukraine skeptics such as Sen. Josh Hawley suggested Ukraine money be diverted to Israel instead.
