House Republicans Push for Action on Israel Amid Speaker Uncertainty

TL;DR Summary
House Foreign Affairs Chair Mike McCaul, a top Republican, is urging Congress to pass a resolution of support for Israel, condemning Hamas, even before a new House speaker is elected. McCaul warns that the paralysis in the chamber would send a dangerous signal to America's adversaries, such as China and Iran. The Biden administration has expressed its unwavering support for Israel's security, and Senate Democrats are pushing for the quick confirmation of an ambassador to Israel. However, the chaos in Congress threatens to slow down further action and raise concerns about the United States appearing weak to the world.
