Biden Administration Considers $18 Billion Arms Sale to Israel Amid Gaza Conflict

The proposed sale, which includes up to 50 F-15 fighter jets, faces scrutiny over civilian casualties in Gaza.

The Biden administration is weighing a major arms sale to Israel, potentially including up to 50 F-15 fighter jets and other advanced weaponry.
The sale, valued at $18 billion, is under review amid Israel's ongoing military campaign in Gaza, which has resulted in over 31,000 Palestinian casualties.
Critics, including some within Biden's own party, urge the administration to condition or halt the arms transfer to pressure Israel to minimize civilian casualties.
The arms package also involves advanced missiles and precision-guided munition kits, aimed at bolstering Israel's defense capabilities against regional threats.
U.S. law mandates Congressional notification for major foreign military sales, with discussions between the administration and Congress already underway.
