Biden administration approves emergency sale of tank shells to Israel, bypassing Congress
The Biden administration has approved the emergency sale of nearly 14,000 rounds of tank ammunition worth over $106 million to Israel, bypassing Congress. The move comes as President Biden's aid package for Ukraine, Israel, and other national security issues faces delays in Congress. Some Democratic lawmakers have suggested tying assistance to Israel with measures to reduce civilian casualties in Gaza. Bypassing Congress for arms sales is uncommon and has faced resistance in the past.
