The Israeli’s Foreign Minister on Wednesday thanked the US Senate for approving $13 billion in military aid. The Minister described the gesture as warning message to Israel enemies around the world.
According to him, “This has 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.”
The Minister’s enthusiasm was reflected in Israel’s Katz post on social media site X shortly after the approval. The US Congress just gave its final approval to the aid package.
“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,” Katz added.
The Minister also thanked Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and Republican Leader Mitch McConnell. He thanked them “For your unwavering commitment to Israel’s security. The Israel-US strategic partnership is unbreakable”.
