Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin testified on President’s Biden’s $106 billion emergency aid request that would provide military and humanitarian assistance to Israel and Ukraine. They took questions on the wars being fought by both countries, the military-industrial base, and about security concerns in the Indo-Pacific region and at the U.S. southern border. The hearing began with multiple protesters interrupting Secretary Blinken’s opening statement as they called for a cease-fire in Israel.
