On Sunday, October 15, White House National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan said that a new arms package for Israel and Ukraine would cost more than $2 billion.
As reported by The Guardian, in an interview with Face the Nation on CBS, Sullivan said that this week Joe Biden will hold talks with the US Congress about the need to approve the package.
