Foreign Affairs Chair Michael McCaul said the attack on Israel by Hamas has increased the urgency to select a House speaker.

Until the House selects a new speaker, all other business is paused. That means defense aid for U.S. allies like Israel and Ukraine are stuck, even though overwhelming majorities of Congress support assisting Israel following last weekend’s attacks. McCaul led a vastly bipartisan group of nearly 400 members Tuesday in introducing a resolution declaring the U.S.’ steadfast support for Israel and condemnation of Hamas. Democratic Rep. Joaquin Castro of San Antonio, another member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, was also one of the original sponsors of the resolution. The majority of Texas members signed onto the resolution, including deep conservatives like Rep. Ronny Jackson and progressives like Rep.
It isn’t a new position for the Texan. The House was stalled for a week in January when it took 15 rounds of votes to elect McCarthy as speaker of the House. During that time, no members could be sworn in, and no committees could organize and do their work.by blocking members from accessing sensitive information or conducting congressional oversight functions.
Republicans are hoping to avoid the chaos of January’s speaker election, which was largely driven by a group of far-right members pushing for rules changes to give their faction of the party a greater voice. Without those demands, members are more concentrated on finding a candidate who can unify the party rather than any specific policy stances.
