Washington, February 5 (RHC)-- U.S. President Joe Biden is urging the U.S. Senate to "swiftly pass" legislation with $14.1 billion in Israeli military funding.  The bill before the Senate is part of a draft emergency national security funding bill released on Sunday.

The funding for Israel is included in the Emergency National Security Supplemental Appropriations Bill, which includes a total of $118.3 billion of funding, including for Ukraine and U.S. border controls.

U.S. President Joe Biden has urged Congress to “get it to my desk so I can sign it into law immediately.”
