What the first search did return, on the other questions
The card's claim is about what the United States sends, and that question came back empty. These questions did return material. It is reproduced word for word so nothing found is lost, and it is context rather than a position on U.S. weapons or money. Em dashes are rendered as hyphens to satisfy house style; no wording is changed.
### Characterization of the conflict * **July 14, 2026:** In promotional outreach for an upcoming campaign event, Hysenaj's campaign criticized far-left politicians in New York for prioritizing "Hamas sympathizers over Israeli victims". * **July 20, 2026:** In a public social media statement, Hysenaj condemned Hamas, referring to their actions as "horrifying attacks against innocent civilians".

### Rhetoric and lobbying * **July 14, 2026:** Hysenaj organized a campaign event scheduled for July 23, 2026, focused on standing with Israel.
