I see criticism of the aid package, which was signed by President Biden today, because the package not only supports Ukraine but also Israel.
I am critical of the Netanyahu government too. However, I think you should look at the proportions. The aid package contains 26 billion for the middle east, BUT 4 billion is for air defence, and 9 billion for humanitarian initiatives, which leaves Israel with 13 billion.
Now compare that to the 61 billion dedicated to Ukraine — almost 5 times more.

Whether you like Israel or not, there is no way, US politicians would come together and deliver this package without aid to Israel, simply because Israel is a strategically important ally.
What really matters is, Ukraine is getting an enormous allocation of resources now, on top of all the aid already provided from the UK, Norway Japan, and EU countries.
Russia has not been able to take Ukraine during the 6 months delay, and now really powerful weapons are coming to help Ukraine win.
