U.S. Senate approves Ukraine, Israel aid, but bill faces tough path through House

The U.S. Senate voted early Tuesday to approve a $95 billion aid package providing funds for Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan, but its future remains uncertain amid intense lawmaker opposition.

The package includes $61 billion for Ukraine, $14 billion for Israel and $4.83 billion to support partners in the Indo-Pacific, including Taiwan, along with facilities for humanitarian aid.

The bill passed by 70-29 in the Democrat-led chamber on Tuesday, with Sen. Cynthia Lummis, R-Wyo., abstaining.

Only two Democratic senators voted against the measures, alongside independent Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont, who has stated his opposition to unconditional aid for Israel.
