Beyond Israel, there's another huge issue the House isn't working on: The prospect, once again, of a government shutdown in mid-November if the House GOP can't come to a consensus on a spending plan to continue funding the federal government."If the government was shut down, it could be very bad because Biden can provide some level of support to Israel without Congress," one senior GOP lawmaker said.

"Moves up timeline," to elect a speaker, another lawmaker said. "People won't tolerate 15 rounds while Hamas firing rockets into Israel," a reference to the 15 votes it took to elect McCarthy speaker in January. "I wish — they did this without a plan," Rep. Max Miller told Axios, referring to the far-right Republicans who forced McCarthy's ouster. "Our country is a mess and anyone who thought this was a good idea is a few cards short of a full deck."One GOP lawmaker told Axios that some members of the moderate Republican Main Street Caucus were calling to reinstate McCarthy in the wake of Hamas' attack. But other members doubted that possibility.
