A bipartisan House passed a massive $95 billion aid package providing funds to Ukraine, Israel, and other allies, ending a monthslong stalemate over whether the United States had the political will to continue funding Ukraine’s defense against Russia’s ongoing invasion.

Lawmakers approved the Israel aid bill to provide $26.38 billion to the Jewish state, which includes funds to replenish the country’s Iron Dome and David’s Sling missile defense systems as well as $3.5 billion to go toward securing advanced weapons systems and other defense services. The package also includes about $9 billion in humanitarian aid for civilians in conflict zones, including Gaza.
