But even if the Senate passes the $95 billion legislation in the coming days, its fate remains uncertain in the House.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Senators voted 67-32<b> <\/b>to clear the first procedural hurdle needed to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/congress\/2024\/02\/05\/new-aid-bill-for-ukraine-israel-taiwan-faces-uphill-battle\/\" target=\"_blank\">advance the bill<\/a>, which also includes additional funding for the submarine-industrial base, U.S. Central Command and U.S. Indo-Pacific Command.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIf we abandon our friends in Ukraine to [Russian President] Vladimir Putin, history will cast a shameful and permanent shadow on senators who block funding,\u201d Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., said on Wednesday ahead of the vote. \u201cIt is a matter of the highest national urgency that we get this right.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The vote came after Democrats dropped immigration policy changes from the legislation after two months of negotiations, which <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/congress\/budget\/2023\/12\/06\/ukraine-aid-in-peril-as-senate-republicans-walk-out-of-heated-briefing\/#:~:text=WASHINGTON%20%E2%80%95%20Republican%20Sens.%20Deb%20Fischer,Israel%20aid%2C%20both%20visibly%20agitated.\" target=\"_blank\">Senate Republicans had initially demanded as the price for unlocking the foreign aid <\/a>funding. But Republicans backtracked on the deal this week as former President Donald Trump, the front-runner in the party\u2019s presidential primary, came out against coupling foreign aid with an immigration deal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s possible the Senate may vote on amendments as the foreign aid bill proceeds, providing a potential opening to alter the legislation for Republicans opposed to Ukraine assistance and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/congress\/2024\/01\/18\/pressure-mounts-on-biden-to-leverage-human-rights-laws-on-israel-aid\/\" target=\"_blank\">Democrats who seek human rights conditions on Israel aid<\/a> amid the humanitarian crisis in Gaza.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Although Ukraine aid initially enjoyed strong bipartisan support, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/congress\/2023\/10\/01\/congress-avoids-government-shutdown-drops-ukraine-aid\/\" target=\"_blank\">Republican opposition to additional assistance has grown<\/a> over the last several months. The Biden administration in December <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/congress\/2023\/12\/18\/biden-to-use-last-of-ukraine-funds-this-month-if-congress-doesnt-act\/\">used its last tranche of Ukraine aid funds<\/a> from previous assistance packages, while Kyiv faces artillery and ammunition shortages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Congress has passed a cumulative $113 billion in economic and security aid for Ukraine since Russia\u2019s full-scale invasion in February 2022. Israel receives an annual $3.8 billion per year in U.S. military aid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Senate bill includes another $60 billion in security and economic aid for Ukraine, $48.4 billion of which is for military support. It also includes an additional $14 billion in Israel aid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On top of that, there\u2019s nearly $4 billion in military aid for Taiwan and other Indo-Pacific security partners, plus $2 billion to get the submarine-industrial base on course for the AUKUS agreement with Australia and Britain. U.S. Indo-Pacific Command would get another $542 million to respond to its fiscal 2024 unfunded priorities list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The bill also adds $2.4 billion for U.S. Central Command to resupply munitions it used in response to the ongoing attacks from Iran-backed proxies in the Middle East since the Israel-Hamas war began in October 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Republican-held <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/congress\/2024\/02\/07\/house-fails-to-pass-israel-aid-amid-ukraine-standoff-with-biden\/\" target=\"_blank\">House failed to pass a stand-alone Israel aid bill on Tuesday<\/a> amid both opposition from most Democrats concerned about the lack of Ukraine assistance, and Republicans with the conservative Freedom Caucus unhappy with the legislation\u2019s lack of budgetary offsets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">House Speaker <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/congress\/2024\/01\/18\/biden-hosts-hill-leaders-as-congress-inches-toward-ukraine-deal\/\" target=\"_blank\">Mike Johnson, R-La., previously said the key to unlocking Ukraine aid is immigration restrictions<\/a>, but he also declared the Senate\u2019s deal on the U.S southern border \u201cdead on arrival\u201d as soon as the text came out Sunday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">House Armed Services Chairman Mike Rogers, R-Ala., who supports Ukraine aid, told reporters Wednesday that the lower chamber may split off individual pieces of the Senate bill into separate votes \u2014 though Johnson has yet to commit to a path forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rep. Rosa DeLauro of Connecticut, the top Democrat on the House Appropriations Committee, said Congress must move \u201cwith alacrity on the supplemental.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWhatever may be the fastest way to do it, we need to do it,\u201d DeLauro said. \u201cWe can\u2019t leave Israel hanging, Ukraine hanging, humanitarian assistance hanging, Indo-Pacific. That is irresponsible and frankly immoral.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Senate cleared its first procedural vote on a giant foreign aid bill, but its fate in the
