The Senate passed a provision in the foreign-aid bill that could cut aid to Israel and other countries that do not extradite people charged with crimes in the United States. The Senate passed the measure by a vote of 86-12 on Wednesday before approving the foreign-operations appropriations bill by 98-1.
