The arms transfer could be the final one the Biden administration provides to Israel. President Biden has largely ignored critics of Israel’s conduct in Gaza who have urged a halt to weapons aid.

The Biden administration says it is helping its ally defend against Iran-backed militant groups like Hamas in Gaza, Hezbollah in Lebanon and the Houthis in Yemen.

The State Department has informed Congress of a planned $8 billion weapons sale to Israel, U.S. officials say, as the American ally presses forward with its war against Hamas in Gaza.

Two weeks before leaving office, President Joe Biden decided that the United States will sell arms worth 8 billion dollars to Israel. The White House has already informed Congress of its intentions. According to Reuters,

American and Israeli media report that the United States will once again supply arms to Israel. This time, details are being finalized regarding the deal for the sale of missiles and aerial bombs. It is emphasized that both President Biden and former President Trump have the same approach to further cooperation with Israel.
