Senate Democrats on Nov. 7 blocked a Republican-led bill that would provide standalone aid to Israel.

Sen. Roger Marshall (R-Ky.) and other Republican senators called for quick passage of legislation recently approved in a bipartisan U.S. House of Representatives vote. The bill would give Israel $14 billion in the wake of it being invaded by the Hamas terrorist group.
