Rep. Brian Mast (R-Fla.) arrived Friday on Capitol Hill wearing his military uniform from his service in the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) in a display of unity with the country following the Palestinian militant group Hamas’s surprise attack last weekend.
“As the only member to serve with both the United States Army and the Israel Defense Forces, I will always stand with Israel,” Mast wrote in a post on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, alongside several photos of him wearing the uniform Friday.

I disagree with some of his views...but he did honorably serve in both US and Israeli forces along with being a disabled veteran.

LTC Eugene Chu I Approve of Israel's Right to Exist, I Understand they are in the Middle of an "Unfriendly" Environment. I Do Not Approve of the Fascist Government of Benjamin "Bibi" Netanyahu. I Do Not Approve of the Apartheid Treatment of Palestinians, I Do Not Approve of Zionism, claiming "God Gave Us, Promised Us this Land" to Steal Palestinian Land.

..."“She’s Palestinian. It doesn’t mean she’s a terrorist. It doesn’t mean that she condones this,” Rep. Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) said this past week. “I fly a Danish flag at my house.”
Mast’s comments also come as the House remains paralyzed without a Speaker. House Republicans are working Friday to find a path forward after House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-La.) dropped out of the race Thursday night. He was unable to get enough support from his conference for a floor vote, despite securing the party’s nomination in a 113-99 vote Tuesday.
Some lawmakers have been critical of the House GOP struggle to elect a Speaker, arguing for the need to pass a resolution of bipartisan support for Israel, as well as additional aid for both Israel and Ukraine."
