US lawmakers and Biden officials discuss ramping up support for Israel

US lawmakers and Biden administration officials discussed increasing support for Israel at a briefing with House leadership on Sunday night, three people familiar with the call told CNN.

Senior officials from the State and Defense Departments told the lawmakers they are moving as quickly as they can to deliver weapons and resources to Israel as part of already existing contracts, the sources said.

That could help ensure that Washington provides some items as soon as possible, amid questions about how quickly Congress could act on a larger aid package.

What the US may provide: Two people familiar said the briefing mentioned necessary items such as artillery shells and missiles for Israel’s Iron Dome air defense system. While Israel's supplies are sufficient in the short term, they may need additional support if the conflict drags on, one person said. Artillery shells would be used if, say, Israel were to launch a ground incursion into Gaza.

Biden is more of a Hamas / Hezbollah / PLA supporter.

The pro-muslim US State Department and others in the Federal Government always drag their feet, waiting until Israel turns the tables on their muslim attackers.

Then they spring into action to stop Israel from annihilating the muslims by forcing Israel into accepting a cease fire.

This time I would like to see Israel do what is best for Israel and wipe Hamas off the face of the earth.

These kinds of attacks are made possible by the US and other countries providing aid money to the Palestinians and others year after year and, more recently, by Joe Biden’s
willingness to cut sweetheart deals with Iran and hand them $6 billion dollars they use to finance more muslim terror.

The US is not going to get involved outside of words and empty posturing.

The Biden regime ended the US being a net energy exporter that had been achieved by Trump’s administration in the name of “saving the planet”

The Biden regime to cover up the cost impact of that foolish energy policy has drained the US Strategic Petroleum Reserve. It is at is lowest level currently since 1983

The Arab Oil states have, of course, sided with the terrorists against Israel.

The Biden regime cannot afford to piss off the Arab Oil states less they turn off the taps and crash the West’s economies

Joe Biden has managed, in his 3.5 years, to undo 50 years of progress. The US is back to being where is was in 1973.
