Aid bills for Israel, Ukraine and other U.S. allies were passed by the House in a rare Saturday session, along with a bill that could lead to a sale of TikTok.
The House voted in a rare Saturday session to approve three foreign aid bills for Ukraine, Israel and other U.S. allies totaling $95 billion.A fourth bill was also passed that contains several other foreign policy proposals, including requiring the China-based owner of the popular video app TikTok to sell its stake within a year or face a ban in the United States.
The money is earmarked for the purchase of weapons from the U.S. as well as $9 billion in economic assistance to Ukraine in the form of "forgivable loans." More than $26 billion in aid will be used to support and provide Israel with humanitarian relief for the citizens of Gaza. About $4 billion will be dedicated to replenishing Israel’s missile defense systems and an additional $2.4 billion will be used for current U.S. military operations in the regions.
