The U.S. Senate approved a procedural vote to advance a bill the would provide funding for Israel, Ukraine and the Indo-Pacific by a 67-32 vote on Thursday. The Senate's vote is not a final approval to send the bill to the House, but it allows the legislation to clear a major hurdle before going up for final passage.  The bill provides $95.3 billion in foreign aid, with $60 billion earmarked for Ukraine's defense, and $14.1 billion in defense aid for Israel. The bill also sets aside $9.2 billion in humanitarian assistance for Gaza and $4.8 billion in aid for the Indo-Pacific.  Full story: https://www.wtkr.com/senate-advances-bill-to-provide-funding-for-israel-ukraine
