The Biden administration has notified Congress of a proposed $8 billion arms sale to Israel, which includes munitions for fighter jets, attack helicopters, artillery shells, small-diameter bombs, and warheads. The deal must be approved by the House of Representatives and Senate committees.
This move comes as part of Washington’s support for Israel amidst its ongoing conflict, which has led to tens of thousands of deaths in Gaza. The U.S. argues that it is helping its ally defend against Iran-backed groups like Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Houthis.
