"US Bypasses Congress, Approves $106M Emergency Tank Ammo Sale to Israel"

The Biden administration has approved an "emergency sale" of nearly 14,000 rounds of tank ammunition worth over $106 million to Israel as it intensifies its invasion of the Gaza Strip. By deeming an "emergency exists" in the Middle Eastern war, the administration was able to bypass the standard congressional review required for foreign military sales. The State Department stated that the sale is consistent with the US commitment to Israel's security and will enhance its self-defense capability. This move comes as the Biden administration seeks approval for a $106 billion aid package for Ukraine, Israel, and other national security needs, which has faced skepticism on Capitol Hill.
