Congress must pass more funding quickly for the United States to be able to give both Israel and Ukraine the weapons and munitions they both need, a top Pentagon official said on October 9. “The intent is to lean forward in support of Israel,” Army Secretary Christine Wormuth said as the United States faces the challenge of supporting Israel and Ukraine simultaneously. Wormuth said with regard to munitions that “additional funding is needed to increase our capacity to expand production and then also pay for the munitions themselves.”
