Israel Asks US for Additional $10 Billion in Military Aid

Israel has asked the US for an additional $10 billion in military aid amid its onslaught in Gaza, The New York Times reported on Monday night.

The report said lawmakers in Congress are working with the White House to craft a spending package that will include military aid for Israel, Ukraine, and Taiwan and additional funds for border security.

Reuters reported on Tuesday that President Biden will request a spending package for all the military aid worth about $100 billion. Previous reports said Biden was looking for a massive spending package for Ukraine that would last through the 2024 election.
