US Senate has unanimously approved an additional $225 million in funding for Israel despite Tel Aviv’s deadly war on the Gaza Strip

The US Senate has unanimously approved an additional $225 million in funding for Israel despite Tel Aviv’s deadly war on the Gaza Strip.

On Friday, the Senate rushed through a legislation to provide the money for Israel's "Iron Dome" missile system, which is a short-range rocket defense system designed to intercept rockets and artillery shells fired from a range of between four and 70 kilometers.

Republican Senator Lindsey Graham said the Senate vote is a much-needed signal to Tel Aviv that the US is there when Israel needs it.
