TL;DR Summary

US senators from both parties express doubts about a House Republican plan to provide $14.3 billion in aid to Israel without including aid to Ukraine, while President Joe Biden threatens to veto the bill if it passes. The bill, which was unveiled by House Republicans, is a standalone supplemental spending bill solely for Israel, despite Biden's request for a $106 billion package that includes aid for both Israel and Ukraine. Senate Democrats, who control the Senate, have stated that the bill would be dead on arrival in the upper chamber. The administration argues that the bill is detrimental to Israel, the Middle East region, and US national security.
