Senate Delays Vote on Aid for Ukraine and Israel

The Senate adjourned without voting on a bill to send aid to Ukraine and Israel after Republicans blocked a compromise that would have paired the aid with stringent border security measures. Democrats promised a Thursday vote on a stand-alone foreign aid bill stripped of the immigration measures, but action stalled as Republicans sought assurances for proposing changes. Despite the delay, there were hopes for bipartisan support to advance the aid package, which includes $60.1 billion for Ukraine, $14.1 billion for Israel, and $10 billion for global crises. The fate of the aid bill in the Republican-led House remains uncertain, with pressure to reject it.
