"US Quietly Approves Over 100 Arms Sales to Israel Amid Gaza Conflict"
The US has reportedly made over 100 weapons sales to Israel, including thousands of bombs, since the start of the Gaza war, bypassing congressional oversight by keeping each transaction under the dollar amount requiring approval. The Biden administration, while critical of Israeli military operations in Gaza, has continued a substantial flow of munitions to replace those used in the intense bombing campaign. Critics argue that this circumvents transparency and accountability, with the administration following the steps of its predecessor in exploiting loopholes. Despite public misgivings, the administration defends the sales as part of the US's commitment to Israel's self-defense, while efforts to assess whether Israeli forces are committing war crimes remain vague.
