Congress Faces Deadline to Approve U.S. Aid to Israel and Ukraine as International Mediators Push for Cease-Fire Extension in Gaza

Congress is facing a two-part deadline to fund the government, while international mediators are pushing for an extension of the cease-fire in Gaza. Sharon Hertzman and her daughter Noam were recently released by Hamas after being held as hostages in Gaza for 50 days, and Israel has said it would extend the cease-fire by one day for every 10 additional hostages released. Debate over approving U.S. aid to Israel and Ukraine is complicated by divisions between the two parties.
