US President Biden Provides Military Aid to Ukraine Amid Ongoing Conflict
Biden Signs Military Aid Package to Support Ukraine
In a significant development, President Joe Biden signed a national security memo in February 2024, four months into the Israel-Hamas war, authorizing the flow of weapons to Ukraine within hours.
Aid Package Approved Amidst Conflict
The decision to provide military aid to Ukraine comes amidst the ongoing conflict between Ukraine and Russia. President Biden emphasized that the weapons would reach Ukraine within hours to support their defense efforts.
US Congressional Approval for Israel Aid
Separately, the US House of Representatives has overwhelmingly voted to provide Israel with $26 billion in emergency aid. Israel has welcomed the aid package, which includes approximately $15 billion for rocket interceptors to enhance its defense capabilities.
Additional Military Aid for Israel
The Biden administration has also informed Congress of its plans to send an additional $1 billion military aid package to Israel. This decision follows an increase in Hamas attacks and Israel's subsequent bombing of Gaza.
