But last night certainly underscores significantly the threat that Israel faces in a very, very tough neighborhood ," Kirby said on NBC's "Meet the Press" Sunday.
Kirby noted that all the House needs to do "is take it up" and "put it on the floor," telling "Meet the Press" moderator Kristen Welker that "you and I both know the votes are there." "But we're just looking for leadership out of the speaker's office: get it on the floor, get it voted on so that not only Israel can get additional resources and defend itself — which they clearly need — but that Ukraine can as well," he added., but it has been stalled for weeks in the House. The bill includes funding for Ukraine, Israel, Taiwan and Palestinian civilians.
