The Biden administration has greenlit a $147.5 million emergency weapons sale to Israel, sidestepping Congress for the second time this month.
Despite international calls for a cease-fire, Secretary of State Antony Blinken cited the commitment to Israel’s security.
The approved sale includes “M107 155mm projectiles and related equipment.”
President Biden and officials support Israel’s right to self-defense but urge protecting Gaza civilians amid a humanitarian crisis with significant displacement, casualties, and hostages.
