Alongside funding for Ukraine and other foreign policy issues, the $106bn bill would provide about $14bn to Israel to restock its missile defence systems.
All Senate Republicans voted against moving forward with the measure as they called for border security provisions to be included.
Bernie Sanders also voted against the bill, saying earlier this week that he opposed providing more funding to the “extremist Netanyahu government”.
Rights advocates have called on the Biden administration to condition US aid to Israel – which totals $3.8bn annually – and argued that the funding contributes to Israeli abuses against Palestinians and violations of international law.
