WASHINGTON — President Biden’s staff confirmed Friday that he is asking Congress for much greater aid to Ukraine by hitching it to a smaller and more popular spending request for Israel after Hamas terrorists slaughtered 1,400 people in a surprise attack this month.
Biden on Thursday night used his second primetime Oval Office address since taking office to urge passage of the combined package, which the White House confirmed Friday morning would be $14.3 billion for Israel — just a quarter of the $61.4 billion he’s seeking for Ukraine.
Another $30.1 billion would go to various other projects, bringing the total to nearly $106 billion.
The smaller requests include $9.15 billion in humanitarian aid, of which Biden’s aides said a yet-to-be-determined amount would go to aid Palestinian civilians affected by Israel’s expected invasion of Gaza, where about 200 hostages including some Americans remain held by Hamas

Not fair, their teat is bigger than ours!
Ukraine funding provides money for the whole deep state globalist plan.
Funding for Israel gets republicans to reflexively get on board war funding.
Ukrainians obviously have damaging info on Biden.
Separate votes--buggers in congress don't want their votes on the record.
Walking through the blood of 1400 Israelis to get to the Ukraine teller window. If Congress had any balls they would immediately separate the request and dare Biden to veto any Israel spending passed unencumbered by the Ukraine money.
Can someone answer why Ukraine needs more money if they’re winning?
I mean they just destroyed some Russian choppers and you got the usual blithering idiots high-fiving each other and announcing the end of Putin.
Lib diversitarians
Spent a billion on Ellen
That was a failure too
Considering that Ruzzia is involved in both wars then the response is appropriate.
President Trump has indicated his level of support for both countries could be much greater.
“ Ukraine funding provides money for the whole deep state globalist plan.”
Ukraine money provides billions in kickback to the American fascist politicians in charge of this government. They are voting money right in to their own offshore accounts.
Quit being a tool
Not a dollar for either. This is ridiculous.
Agree. I included them.
In Case You’re Interested PING
Happy the House is too busy to help Biden spend more money on a lost cause.
The Big Guy doesn’t get a kick back of 10% from Israel.
America is just a wallet stuffed with taxpayer dollars to the globalists - they want to go on yet another shopping spree with our money. They are spending big to protect DNC and Biden crimes and biolabs in the Ukraine, and it doesn’t matter to them how we feel about it.
Here’s an idea.
Europe puts more money into their defense budgets.
I am growing increasingly sick of funding warmongers whose thirst for fresh blood makes the story of Dracula look like a nursery rhyme. What about the (fake) climate change crisis? Oops. Hatred of Russians and Palestinians reigns supreme over all, and it’s plain that some here with the extinction of both groups This will end horribly. For Ukraine, for Israel, and for us.
Let them both pay for their own wars.
