US House of Representatives fails to support bill on aid to Israel
Political
A bill proposed by the Republicans in the US Congress, which would have provided aid to Israel without allocating funds to support Ukraine, failed to receive the necessary majority of votes in the House of Representatives.
250 lawmakers spoke in favour of the initiative, while 180 members of the lower house voted against it. The bill required a two-thirds vote of congressmen to pass.
A group of Republicans introduced a document on 3 February proposing to send $17.6 billion in aid to Israel without additional funding for Ukraine. The US administration strongly opposed the initiative, saying that President Joe Biden intended to use his veto power if the bill was passed by Congress.
