"Schumer's Plan B: Stripped-Down Aid Package for Israel and Ukraine Amid GOP Border Bill Block"

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer plans to push for a vote on a stripped-down Israel and Ukraine aid package after Republicans blocked a bipartisan border security and foreign aid bill. The new package excludes border security provisions and aims to secure assistance for Israel, Ukraine, and Taiwan. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell expressed support for a vote on the aid bill without the border provisions. The House rejected a standalone bill to provide aid to Israel amid congressional infighting over the Senate border bill.
