Biden administration approved $735 million arms sale to Israel - sources

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Joe Biden's administration approved the potential sale of $735 million in precision-guided weapons to Israel, and congressional sources said on Monday that U.S. lawmakers were not expected to object to the deal despite violence between Israel and Palestinian militants.

Three congressional aides said Congress was officially notified of the intended commercial sale on May 5, as part of the regular review process before major foreign weapons sales agreements can go ahead.

The sale was first reported by the Washington Post.

Congress was informed of the planned sale in April, as part of the normal informal review process before of the formal notification on May 5. Under U.S. law, the formal notification opens up a 15-day window for Congress to object to the sale, which is not expected despite the ongoing violence.

1. Kickin' with disgust!

We shouldn't be supporting ANY country that practices genocide.

2. Keep in mind that a financial package was sent to Palestinians as well.

So both countries will benefit from the United States.

5. This will be used against Biden & his admin (understandably so)

Sounds like it’s a pre-conflict decision. But this is a case of them not reading the room, well. IMO. The room of international opinion, and a significant proportion of left/dem Biden supporters’ opinions too, who are watching closer and hoping for a grown up, contemporary response. Not same old ...

6. What are we doing?

Cancel this sale..we should not be supporting apartheid anywhere. No wonder people hate us over there n wanna do us harm.
