Senate approves bigger Israel aid package despite warnings
The Senate boosted Israel aid by 500 million beyond the House, raising total arms grants to 1.5 billion within a 5.5 billion foreign aid bill. The package includes 36.5 million for Jewish refugees and 22 million to U N relief for Palestinian refugees, with conditional sales and broader military credits, drawing criticism from Fulbright and McClure that the timing undermines future peace talks.
