House Republicans revealed on Wednesday details about a trio of bills to provide foreign aid to U.S. allies and a plan to vote on the legislation by the weekend.
One bill aims to provide $26 billion with a stated focus on supporting Israel in its defensive effort and reimbursing U.S. military operations in response to recent attacks. Humanitarian aid, a key priority for Democrats, was included in the legislation.
A second bill would give nearly $61 billion toward the Ukraine-Russia conflict and provide assistance to regional partners. Around a third of the money is earmarked for replenishing U.S. military assets. There is also a mandate for repayment of economic support by the Ukrainian government.
