President Joe Biden is expected to ask Congress for approximately $10 billion in military aid for Israel and around $60 billion for Ukraine as part of an emergency-funding request. The request, which will also include funds for Taiwan and fortifying the U.S.-Mexico border, is scheduled to be announced during Biden’s address from the Oval Office. While there is broad support in Congress for aid to Israel following the recent attacks by Hamas, there is less support for further aid to Ukraine in its conflict with Russia. Biden also announced $100 million in humanitarian aid for Gaza and the West Bank.
