The U.S. Senate has approved a major $95 billion foreign aid package with the bulk of it going to Ukraine and Israel. The package includes $61 billion in military aid for Ukraine to bolster it in its fight with Russia. And $26 billion for Israel as it continues to battle Hamas. 

What sort of impact will all of this new military spending have in the two major crisis zones? 

Joining the discussion: 

• Anton Fedyashin is a professor of history at American University. 
• Khalil Jahshan is the Executive Director of the Arab Center in Washington DC. 
• Brian Becker is Executive Director of the ANSWER Coalition.
• Victor Gao is Chair Professor at Soochow University.
