"Biden Admin Repeatedly Skirts Congress in Accelerated Arms Sales to Israel"
The Biden administration has bypassed Congress for a second time to expedite a $147.5 million emergency arms sale to Israel, aimed at replenishing Israel's munitions amidst its conflict with Hamas. This move, which includes equipment to enhance the functionality of previously purchased artillery shells, has been justified by the State Department as essential for Israel's defense and in line with U.S. interests. However, the sale has faced criticism due to the high civilian death toll in Gaza and concerns that it may contribute to further casualties. Despite some critical rhetoric from President Biden, the administration's actions continue to support Israel's military efforts.
