How Uncertainty in the U.S. Could Hold Up Aid to Israel
For the first time in its history, the House of Representatives is without an elected Speaker. President Joe Biden's pick for ambassador to Israel has not been confirmed, nor have his nominees to nearby nations Kuwait, Oman, Lebanon and Egypt. Military promotions, including for the chief of naval operations, have been held up by a single senator because of abortion policy. And the whole U.S. government is running on a continuing resolution, meaning another government shutdown looms in a little over a month.
