US Approves Major Arms Sales to Israel Amid Congressional Tensions

The Trump administration has moved forward with significant arms sales to Israel, announcing plans for a deal exceeding $7 billion. This includes the approval of $7.4 billion worth of munitions, such as bombs and Hellfire missiles. These actions come as Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu visited Washington, sparking criticism and concern among some members of Congress who feel the administration is circumventing the usual review process. The State Department has notified Congress of these plans, despite calls to suspend arms transfers due to allegations of complicity in war crimes. This situation has ignited debates on the balance between support for Israel and accountability for its military actions.
