The proposed package allocates $61 billion for Ukraine, $14 billion for Israel to support its conflict against Hamas Hamas and $4.83 billion to support partners in the Indo-Pacific, including Taiwan, and deter aggression by China.

 

It also would provide $9.15 billion in humanitarian assistance to civilians in Gaza and the West Bank, Ukraine and other conflict zones around the globe.
