US Senate Democrats block Republican bid to aid Israel, not Ukraine: Editorial Roundup

US Senate Democrats have blocked a Republican attempt to swiftly approve a bill providing emergency aid to Israel, arguing that aid should also be provided to Ukraine. The House bill, which passed last week, would allocate $14.3 billion to Israel but cut the same amount from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). Democrats accused House Republicans of playing politics by tying support for Israel to cutting IRS funding. Senate leaders are now working on their own supplemental funding bill.
