Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer is headed to Israel this weekend to discuss what resources the United States can provide for its war against Hamas. The New York Democrat's office said Friday he's leading a bipartisan group of senators to the country “to show the United States' unwavering support." Schumer is the first Jewish majority leader of the Senate and the highest-ranking Jewish elected official in the U.S. The visit comes as Congress is considering how much money and equipment to send to Israel and as Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin have visited in recent days.
