The U.S. Army wants to help supply both its Ukrainian and Israeli allies with as many bombs and other equipment as they need in their separate wars.
But it can’t happen as long as Congress is in chaos. Pentagon leadership is still in the early stages of evaluating what Israel might need to battle Hamas militants, but an administration briefing to members of Congress laid out some early markers: air-to-ground bombs, and air defense systems.
But whatever Israel needs, those requests will run headlong into the dysfunction and uncertainty enveloping Capitol Hill, as the House grapples with selecting a new leader and both chambers race to avoid a government shutdown just weeks away.

Aren’t Ukraine weapons we bought them showing up in Palestine? Yeah, not exactly on the top of my list of countries to support. And that’s one of the less serious conflicts with our national interests Ukraine has.
Hmmm. What about that 3B A year I just read about in another post?
They are just a money laundering....country.
If you could find a half dozen guys with gold oakleaves in the services who are not LGBQT, they could man a bank of phones and have what Israel needs in the air in two days.
Decades of the executive branch declaring proxy wars around the globe but NOW it’s on Congress? I’m so disgusted by all of this.

And yet the neo-cons in Congress (Rats and Repukes alike) will likely give the Army its wish.

What a bunch of propaganda BULLSHIRT!!!!
How about Congress doing their duty so that the Army ( and Air Force and Navy, Marines and Coast Guard) can help AMERICANS repel their invasion???
Send the army to the southern border.
Pathetic. We have already sent munitions and money we don’t have.
I have never heard of the Army getting politically involved publicly with messing in the business of Congress.
By the way, are there still Iranian spies in the Pentagon?
Israelis know the neighborhood they live in so much of this is on them for not being prepared due to so many idiotic dupes in Israel who believe in leftist propaganda.
The last intifada ended 20 years ago. So if you're a 25 year old Israeli, you've lived your entire life in Israel in relative peace. The IDF is around but you don't really understand why it's necessary.
Maybe the military can do a drag show readings for Hamas.. offer transgender surgeries and educate them on the seriousness of climate change
Total politicized BS — disgusting what’s become of the Pfentagon.
I’m sorry, why are we killing all of these people again?
Congress is almost always in chaos, and it was in chaos when McCarthy was thrown out. That's why he was thrown out, partially at least.
Ukraine was such a losing cause Hamas is doing them a favor to keep their sorry spending train going down the tracks which Ukraine stopped doing.
It’s 9/11 in their book which means watch out the Slave Train is coming down the tracks.
The “Pentagon leadership” needs to make sure their cushy post-retirement jobs with their contractors are still going to be there.
I am a huge supporter of Israel but I’m pretty sure they can take care of Gaza without our help.
We really don’t want this to slip into an international war.
