A bill proposing emergency aid of 14.3 billion dollars for Israel, alongside US President Joe Biden’s requests for defense assistance to Ukraine and Taiwan, was presented to the US House of Representatives. This update appeared in an American political publication named Top.
The report stated that the Republican Party in the House offered Israel an aid package valued at 14.3 billion dollars.
The document outlines allocations including 4 billion dollars for Israel’s Iron Dome and David’s Sling missile defense systems, and 1.2 billion dollars for the development of a system to intercept and destroy ultra short range missiles with a range up to 7 kilometers, described as the Iron Beam capability.
According to the publication, funding for the Internal Revenue Service to support aid to Israel would be reduced by a similar amount. The plan would impact funding included in the Democrats’ broad tax, health care, and climate measure known as the Inflation Reduction Act, which took effect in 2022.
Recently, Republican Senator Rand Paul commented that the conflicts in Ukraine and Israel threaten to strain the United States and jeopardize national security.
Earlier, the United States denied reports of its involvement in wars within the Palestinian-Israeli conflict zone.
