"Escalating Arms Transfers: US Considers $18 Billion Deal with Israel Amid Gaza Conflict"
TL;DR Summary
The Biden administration is considering an $18 billion arms transfer package to Israel, including the sale of 25 F-15 aircraft from Boeing, with the potential for up to 50 F-15s. The transfer is under review amid pressure to impose conditions on arms transfers due to Israel's military campaign in Gaza. The package also includes support services, training, maintenance, and sustainment. The administration has expressed support for Israel's F-15 request, and the sale is separate from the $14 billion in annual military assistance to Israel.
