WASHINGTON (AP) — The Senate is moving toward a final vote on an emergency spending package that would provide military aid to Ukraine and Israel, replenish U.S. weapons systems and provide food, water and other humanitarian aid to civilians in Gaza. About $60 billion would go to supporting Ukraine as it defends itself from the Russian invasion that began nearly two years ago. About $14.1 billion would go to support Israel and U.S. military operations in the region. In response to China, the bill includes about $1.9 billion to replenish U.S. weapons provided to Taiwan and about $3.3 billion to build more submarines in support of a security partnership with Australia and the United Kingdom.
