Overview

• Congress is debating a package that would provide aid to Ukraine and Israel, but its passage may hinge on U.S. border funding.
• President Biden has requested $60 billion for Ukraine, $14 billion for Israel, and nearly $14 billion for U.S. border security.
• Speaker Mike Johnson has suggested that the aid for Israel, Ukraine, and border security could be passed as separate bills.
• Democrats are divided over whether to attach conditions to aid for Israel, with some advocating for restrictions on how Israel uses American-funded weapons.
• Negotiations on immigration policy changes, demanded by Republicans, are proving difficult and may impact the passage of the aid package.
