On Tuesday, it was reported that the White House might approve a $1 billion arms aid package for Israel. The White House has been criticized for its action, even though the president has made it clear that he would veto such a bill and made it clear that there is no chance that such a bill will be passed in the Democratic-controlled Senate. But the House of Democrats looks somewhat divided on this key issue, and roughly two dozen of them have signed onto the letter to the Biden administration; they stated they were “deeply concerned about the message.”
Some fellow Democrats have pushed Biden to transfer offensive weapons to Israel as they’ve been continuously under heat from the Republican House; they criticized the Democrats for providing aid to a longstanding ally.
The package being sent includes about $700 million for tank ammunition, $500 million for tactical vehicles, and $60 million in mortar rounds, the congressional aide said. They spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss an arms transfer that has not been made public.
There was no indication of when the arms would be sent. It’s not clear whether this shipment is part of the long-delayed foreign aid package that Congress passed and Biden signed last month, a tranche from existing arms, or a new sale.
