The US House of Representatives approves aid to Israel

The U.S. House of Representatives has passed a bill to help Israel.

This was reported by RBC-Ukraine with reference to CNN.

Today, April 20, the US House of Representatives passed an additional law on Israeli security. 366 votes passed the law.

What does this package include:

• $26.4 billion in aid to Israel;

• 4 billion dollars for the Iron Dome and Sling of David missile defense systems;

• 1.2 billion dollars for the Iron Beam defense system;

• 4.4 billion dollars to replenish defense goods and services provided to Israel;

• 3.5 billion dollars for the purchase of advanced weapons systems and other goods under the Foreign Military Financing program;

• 9.2 billion dollars for humanitarian assistance - including emergency food, shelter, and basic services - to the population affected by crisis situations.

Perhaps the country with supposedly the best air defense in the world and its own nuclear weapons needs such assistance more than Ukraine.
