JERUSALEM, April 24, 2024 (BSS/AFP) - Israel's foreign minister on Wednesday thanked the US Senate for approving $13 billion in military aid that he said 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," Israel Katz posted on social media site X, adding the package was "a clear testament to the strength of our alliance and sends a strong message to all our enemies."
