The US House of Representatives is this week expected to vote on separate aid bills for Ukraine and Israel, after months of political disputes between the Biden administration and his Republican opposition, according to the speaker of the House. A financial package of 60 billion dollars for Kyiv proposed by Biden has been blocked for months in Congress, as well as a package for Israel. By far the main provider of military support for both Ukraine and Israel, the United States last sent any significant aid to Kyiv in December 2022, due to opposition from the Republicans. The latter refuse to examine the bill because of another disagreement, relating to migration. A few months before the presidential elections of 5th November, the matter has become a political bone of contention between Joe Biden and his Republican rival Donald Trump.
