I want to start to talk a little bit about Israel and defending against Iran because the October 7 terrorist attack on Israel must never be allowed to take place again. The US Security assistance to Israel must therefore continue unimpeded. But Israel's security has only become more complicated in recent weeks and months as it not only works to defeat Hamas and free the hostages, but also faces frequent threats and attacks by Iran and its proxies like Hezbollah and, of course, so many others.
