The document was considered under an accelerated procedure, but it did not receive the required two-thirds of the congressmen’s votes.
The Lower House of Congress (House of Representatives) on Tuesday, February 6, did not approve the draft law of representatives of the Republican Party, which provides for the allocation of aid only to Israel. This was reported by Reuters news agency.
The bill was considered under an expedited procedure. To pass it, it was necessary to collect two-thirds of the votes of the congressmen, but fewer voted for it.
The document stipulates the provision of $17.6 billion in aid to the state of Israel.
We remind you that the US Ambassador to Ukraine Bridget Brink said that Ukraine has bipartisan support in the US Congress. But the Kyiv financial aid bill is part of the American political process, so congressmen will decide when to adopt the document.
We added that the White House will veto the Israel aid bill because it is considered incomplete. Specifically, the Biden administration wants the document to also include aid to Ukraine and Israel and funding for border security.
