"Biden's Controversial Bypass: U.S. Approves Emergency Arms Sale to Israel"

The Biden administration is facing scrutiny for bypassing Congress to supply tank shells to Israel during the conflict in Gaza. The administration has also been criticized for not conducting continual assessments of whether Israel is committing possible war crimes. Israeli tanks have reportedly reached the center of Khan Younis, while heavy fighting continues in other areas of Gaza. The death toll in Gaza is nearing 18,000 Palestinians, with thousands injured. Israel has been accused of abuses, including stripping male detainees and releasing near-naked pictures and videos. The US found itself isolated at the UN when it was the only vote against an immediate ceasefire. The new details on arms supplies to Israel are likely to draw criticism from US allies and progressive voters.
