Nearly 40 senators from both parties attended a screening of graphic footage from the October 7 Hamas attack on Israel, with some lawmakers emphasizing the critical need for additional security assistance to Israel amid the Gaza war.

The issue could come to a head on the Senate floor as early as next week.
