Despite Threats, Biden to Send Another $1B of Weapons to Israel
The Biden administration is moving ahead with plans to send another $1 billion in weapons and ammo to Israel, according to numerous reports citing congressional officials.
The move comes just days after the White House paused a shipment of bombs, citing concerns for civilians in the Gaza city of Rafah. The new package reportedly includes about $700 million for tank ammunition, $500 million in tactical vehicles, and $60 million in mortar rounds.
It was not immediately clear when the shipment would be sent, but officials cited by The Wall Street Journal said “additional steps” would need to be taken before the weapons shipment could be approved.
