Biden Administration Plans $8 Billion Arms Sale to Israel Amid Ongoing Conflict

The U.S. State Department has informed Congress of a proposed $8 billion weapons sale to Israel as the country intensifies its military operations against Hamas in Gaza.

 

According to reports, this sale, which includes advanced missile systems and artillery, is part of a broader support strategy amidst rising civilian casualties.

The package aims to bolster Israel’s defense capabilities but has sparked controversy over humanitarian concerns. Critics, including some lawmakers, argue that the sale exacerbates the plight of Palestinian civilians.

 

Analysts suggest the ongoing conflict may prompt further scrutiny of U.S. military aid policies.
