"US Fast-Tracks Multiple Arms Sales to Israel, Skirting Congressional Review"

Israeli airstrikes targeted refugee camps in central Gaza, coinciding with the Biden administration's approval of a new $147.5 million emergency weapons sale to Israel. The ongoing conflict has led to significant civilian casualties and displacement, with Israel aiming to dismantle Hamas. Despite international calls for a ceasefire, the U.S. continues to support Israel's defense needs, bypassing Congress for the weapons sale. The war has resulted in over 21,500 Palestinian deaths and the displacement of 85% of Gaza's population, while humanitarian conditions worsen with inadequate aid delivery.
