"Biden Faces Intense Criticism Over Israel Arms Deal from Democrats and 'Squad'"
President Biden is facing criticism from within the Democratic Party, including members of the progressive 'Squad,' for bypassing Congress to approve an emergency arms sale to Israel. Critics like Rep. Ilhan Omar and Sen. Tim Kaine argue that the move is "morally indefensible" and keeps the American public in the dark about the rationale behind supplying weapons that may be used against civilians. The criticism comes amid ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas, with significant civilian casualties reported. The State Department's emergency determination allowed for a $147.5 billion arms sale to Israel, raising concerns about the implications for peace and human rights.
