News summary

The Biden administration has approved over $20 billion in weapons sales to Israel, including 50 F-15 fighter jets, amid ongoing conflict in Gaza and rising civilian casualties. This arms package, which includes tank cartridges and military vehicles, is intended to enhance Israel's defense capabilities despite international criticisms regarding its military conduct. The State Department emphasized the importance of supporting Israel's security, stating it aligns with U.S. national interests. Concerns persist about the humanitarian impact in Gaza, where nearly 40,000 people have reportedly died since the conflict escalated. Critics, including human rights advocates, are urging the U.S. to reconsider arms transfers, arguing they contribute to the destruction in Gaza. While Congress has the power to block such sales, it remains a challenging process, underscoring President Biden's commitment to maintaining military support for Israel.
