WASHINGTON DC: US House has approved $61B Ukraine and $26.4B Israel aid packages on Saturday (20th April, 2024).

Taking to the X (Twitter) Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky stated: “I am grateful to the United States House of Representatives, both parties, and personally Speaker Mike Johnson for the decision that keeps history on the right track.

“Democracy and freedom will always have global significance and will never fail as long as America helps to protect it.

“The vital US aid bill passed today by the House will keep the war from expanding, save thousands and thousands of lives, and help both of our nations to become stronger.

“Just peace and security can only be attained through strength. We hope that bills will be supported in the Senate and sent to President Biden’s desk. Thank you, America!”

Israeli Foreign Minister Israel Katz also took to the X (Twitter) to state: “Thank you Speaker Johnson for your leadership which led the efforts to pass the Israel aid package in the House of Representatives today.

“And thank you Minority Leader Rep Jeffries for supporting it. The vote on the Israel aid package with an overwhelming bipartisan support proves the strong ties and strategic partnership between Israel and the US and sends a strong message to our enemies.

“I hope it passes the Senate soon with strong bipartisan support.”
