Israel thanks US Senate for approving military aid

Israeli Foreign Minister Israel Katz on Wednesday thanked the US for approving $13 billion in military aid that he said sent a "strong message" to the country's enemies. "I thank the US Senate for passing the Israel aid package tonight with an overwhelming bipartisan majority," Mr Katz posted on X. "The Israel aid package that now passed both houses of Congress is a clear testament to the strength of our alliance and sends a strong message to all our enemies," Mr Katz added.
