Are Alaska's Senators Supporting Military Aid for Israel and Ukraine?

Alaska U.S. Sens. Lisa Murkowski and Dan Sullivan have both expressed their support for providing additional military aid to both Israel and Ukraine. This comes as some Republican colleagues have been wavering in their support for funding Ukraine. The U.S. House recently passed a bill that includes over $14 billion in supplemental funding for Israel's war with Hamas but does not include funding for Ukraine, despite President Joe Biden's request to keep the funding for both countries in a single package. While most House Democrats voted against the bill, citing concerns over cuts to the Internal Revenue Service, Murkowski and Sullivan have expressed their preference for a spending package that includes military aid for Israel, Ukraine, and Taiwan. They have also called for a border security policy change to address illegal border crossings. This aligns with a plan proposed by the Biden administration last month, which includes funding for military and economic assistance to Ukraine and Israel, as well as security support for Taiwan. The question now is whether this bipartisan support will be enough to pass aid packages for these countries in the Senate.
