U.S. President Joe Biden is reportedly considering a supplemental request valued at about $100 billion that would include defense aid for Ukraine and Israel, Bloomberg reported on Oct. 17 citing anonymous sources.

The aid would also include border security funding and aid to countries in the Indo-Pacific region, including Taiwan. President Biden pledged support to Israel following deadly attacks by Hamas earlier this month.

Although aid to Israel typically passes with bipartisan support in Congress, Republican lawmakers have voted against signficant aid to Ukraine in recent months.

Details of the requested aid package are still being worked out according to the Bloomberg source. Additionally, the negotiated amount would cover the entire fiscal year. The White House’s previous request, which demanded $24 billion in aid for Ukraine, covered only a three-month period.
