Republicans Support Israel After Iran Attacks

Republicans including House Speaker Mike Johnson, Rep. Matt Gaetz, and Texas Gov. Greg Abbott issued statements in support of Israel after Iran launched long-range drones in retaliation to an Israeli airstrike on the Iranian embassy in Damascus. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene criticized the Biden administration for renewing a sanctions waiver on Iran.
