While the conflict between Israel and Palestine flares up after the Hamas terrorist attack, the US continues to support Ukraine against Russia. US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen has told the British channel ‘Sky News’ that the US can “certainly” afford wars on two fronts.

The US secretary said the US economy and public finances are in good shape to support US interests abroad.
She said it was too early to fully assess the economic impact of the Israel-Palestine conflict, with oil and natural gas prices remaining volatile amid growing concerns about a broader war in the Middle East.
She pointed to a sharp decline in inflation, but she also called on Republicans to quickly appoint a new speaker of the House of Representatives so that more financial support can be provided.
We have to come up with money, both for Israel and for Ukraine. This is a priority
“We have to come up with money, both for Israel and for Ukraine. This is a priority,” Yellen said. “It’s really up to the House to find a new speaker and put us in a position where we can vote on legislation again.”
“America can certainly afford to stand with Israel and meet Israel’s military needs, and we can and must continue to support Ukraine in its fight against Russia.”
