Israel's President Isaac Herzog expressed gratitude towards the US Senate for passing a funding package that includes $26 billion in aid to Israel. Herzog thanked the members of the US Senate from both sides of the aisle for their unwavering support for the aid package, emphasizing unity in the face of common threats.
The aid package, totaling $26.4 billion, will allocate $4 billion for the Iron Dome and David’s Sling missile defense systems, as well as $1.2 billion for the Iron Beam defense system designed to counter short-range rockets and mortar threats. This funding comes as a significant boost to Israel's defense capabilities.
The long-awaited $95 billion package will not only benefit Israel but also provide support to Ukraine and Taiwan, underscoring the broader geopolitical implications of the funding decision.
