Despite the House passing a bill that includes aid only for Israel, Senator Lindsey Graham expects the Senate to pass a bill that includes aid for both Israel and Ukraine. The House bill, which tied Israel aid to cuts to the IRS, faced opposition from Democrats and the White House. Majority Leader Chuck Schumer announced that the Senate would not take up the bill. Instead, Schumer plans to work on a package that includes funding for Israel, Ukraine, competition with China, and humanitarian aid for Gaza. Many Republicans also want to see funding for border security included in the bill.

Graham, who is a vocal supporter of both Israel and Ukraine, believes that a package of funding for border security, Ukraine, and Israel will come out of the Senate. He emphasized the importance of supporting Ukraine and not letting Russia get away with its actions. The White House criticized the House GOP proposal, calling it a politicization of national security interests.

The Senate's position on the aid package for Israel and Ukraine remains to be seen, but Graham is optimistic about its passage.
