Rep. Michael McCaul (R-TX) warned against 'political games' in a call to fund Israel as the deadline to fund the government approaches.

McCaul appeared on Face the Nation on Sunday while in Tel-Aviv, Israel, to address the short-term funding agreement that is set to expire on Nov. 17. Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) has already proposed another continuing resolution measure, which McCaul claimed they "always hurt the military, always hurt our national security." However, he expressed hope that it would pass.

"We have to deliver this package," McCaul said. "I know that we have offsets, and that’s fair, but I don’t think we can play political games with this to support our ally. Because, you know, if they fail and we fail, it would have a very bad effect across the Middle East."

The Texas representative went on to suggest that "threats" against Israel, Ukraine, Taiwan, and the United States own southern border "are really tied together."

"I mean, there’s no choice here. I mean, the world is on fire from where I sit. It is too, you know, urgent. We can’t sit back and do nothing," McCaul said. "And talking to Prime Minister Netanyahu, they needed this yesterday, in his words. Ukraine needed it yesterday. The border, for certainly, need it yesterday. We know that Chairman Xi is threatening Taiwan and the Pacific."

According to McCaul, the Senate is expected to produce its own funding package after the Thanksgiving holiday.

Johnson's plan is to extend the Agriculture, Military Construction and Veterans Affairs, Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and the Energy and Water appropriations bills until Jan. 19 and the remaining bills until Feb. 2. Details on aid to Israel or Ukraine have yet to be hammered out between the Senate and the House.
