Here's what's in the foreign aid package for Ukraine, Israel

The Senate passed a foreign aid package Tuesday that includes money for Ukraine, Israel and the Indo-Pacific region.

The House passed the aid package, in the form of four separate bills, on Saturday – months after the Senate first passed legislation with aid for Ukraine and Israel.

The new legislation, which will now go to President Joe Biden’s desk for his signature, also includes a number of House GOP priorities, including sanctions on Iran, the seizure of frozen Russian sovereign assets and a measure that could lead to a nationwide ban of TikTok.

The aid for Ukraine, Israel and the Indo-Pacific region adds up to about $95 billion – the same amount that the earlier Senate bill passed in February would have provided – with an adjustment that $10 billion in Ukraine economic assistance is in the form of a repayable loan.
