    I’d guess that the attack on Israel is probably pretty advantageous from Zelenskyy’s standpoint. There’s a combined Ukraine and Israel aid bill. Iran attacking Israel probably increases pressure to get things through from an an Israel standpoint.

      Wish combining bills like this wasn’t possible.
