"In the U.S., lawmakers once again failed to reach an agreement on military aid to Israel and Ukraine. Republicans blocked the proposed package, claiming that it did not include the immigration reforms they were demanding.

Unfortunately, not everyone understands that the position of the leader of the free world obliges the United States to prioritize commitments to allies over minor domestic disputes. Especially since supporting Israel and Ukraine in their fight against evil directly aligns with the interests of the United States itself.

I hope that both Republicans and Democrats will realize that Ukrainians fighting on the battlefield and Israel's ability to defend itself against terrorists should not become victims of the pre-election season in Washington. Some things are more important than politics: the lives of people and freedom."
