  • The Biden administration has notified Congress of a $12.87 billion weapons package for Israel. The package contains thousands of bombs, missiles, and artillery shells, making it one of the largest arms sales since the war in Gaza began in 2023.

The Biden administration has notified Congress of a significant arms sale to Israel, valued at $12.87 billion, which includes 50 F-15 fighter jets, along with engines, radar systems, and other military equipment. This sale, which was reported by Reuters, comes amidst ongoing conflicts in Gaza and increasing international scrutiny over U.S. military support to Israel. The notification to Congress is part of a process that allows for a review period where lawmakers can potentially block the sale, although such actions are rare. The deal underscores the continued military cooperation between the U.S. and Israel, despite recent tensions and calls for a ceasefire in the region.
