House Okays $95 Billion Aid Package to Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan

The House of Representatives on Saturday passed a series of foreign aid bills that include $60.8 billion in aid to Ukraine, $26.38 billion in aid to Israel, $8 billion in aid to the Indo-Pacific region, including Taiwan, and a foreign aid bill that includes a TikTok ban provision. The four bills will now be sent to the Senate as a package.

A bill which provides $8 billion in military aid for the Indo-Pacific region, including Taiwan, passed overwhelmingly in the House by a vote of 385-34, with one member voting present. The House passed the Ukraine foreign aid bill by a vote of 311-112-1. The Israel Security Supplemental Appropriations Act passed by a vote of 366-58.

President Joe Biden thanked House members for passing foreign aid package for Ukraine and Israel and said that the package comes at a "critical inflection point" for those nations.

Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer announced that the first Senate vote on the package will be held on Tuesday.
