Key Democrats Approve Major Arms Sale to Israel as Netanyahu Blames Biden for Withholding Arms

ai generated text

Representative Gregory Meeks and Senator Ben Cardin have agreed to support a significant arms deal with Israel, which involves the purchase of 50 F-15 fighter jets worth over $18 billion. According to reports, Meeks had been in close contact with the White House regarding the deal. The agreement comes under pressure from the Biden administration, although it is unclear what specific factors contributed to the Democrats' decision to support the sale.

    1. Give us the tools and we'll finish the job a lot faster.
    2. Secretary [of State Antony] Blinken assured me that the administration is working day and night to remove these bottlenecks. I certainly hope that's the case. It should be the case.
    3. It's inconceivable that in the past few months, the administration has been withholding weapons and ammunitions to Israel.

    1. We still have not yet seen them launch what looks like a full-scale major military operation – certainly not in the size, scope, or scale of the operations in Khan Younis, in Gaza City, elsewhere in Gaza. It's been a more limited operation.

    White House
    1. That remains under review. But everything else is moving as it normally would move.
    2. We, as you know, are continuing to review one shipment that President Biden has talked about with regard to 2,000-pound bombs because of our concerns about their use in a densely populated area like Rafah.

    Karine Jean-Pierre
    White House
    1. We continue to have these constructive discussions with Israelis for the release of that particular shipment… There are no other pauses – none.
    2. We genuinely do not know what he's talking about. There was one particular shipment of munitions that was paused.
