The Biden administration has quietly told Congress about a plan to sell $8 billion worth of weapons to Israel. This includes ammunition for fighter jets and helicopters, according to Axios.
The deal needs approval from committees in both the House and Senate. It involves artillery shells and missiles for fighter jets to defend against threats like drones.
The State Department hasn’t made any comments yet, but a U.S. official said the President supports Israel’s right to protect its people under international law and to respond to threats from Iran.
