"Biden administration stands firm on military aid to Israel, defying pressure and bypassing Congressional approval"

The Biden administration has stated that it has no plans to impose conditions on the military aid it provides to Israel, despite calls from Democratic lawmakers and human rights organizations to halt weapons transfers unless Israel takes greater measures to protect civilians in Gaza. President Biden has emphasized that the US will continue to protect Israel and has opted for a strategy of quiet pressure rather than threatening to withhold aid. The US has also bypassed the standard review period for the sale of tank munitions to Israel, causing dissatisfaction among some Democratic lawmakers. Critics argue that the US is neglecting its responsibility to monitor how Israel uses US-provided weapons, potentially contributing to violations of international humanitarian law.
