The USA can provide 26 billion dollars to Israel and 61 billion dollars to Ukraine

US House Speaker Mike Johnson said Wednesday he was committed to his plan to table several foreign aid bills, including funding for Ukraine, after facing pressure from hardliners. The additional three-part package is strikingly similar to the Senate bill in several key aspects, including that the package includes more than $9 billion in humanitarian aid for Gaza and other conflict zones worldwide, a red line for Democrats.

The bill would send $61 billion to Ukraine and regional partners, $23 billion of which would go toward stockpiling in the United States. It will also include an allocation of $26 billion to Israel and $8 billion to the Indo-Pacific region.
