The Biden administration is planning to notify Congress about a new military aid package worth billions of dollars for Israel, which includes medium-range air-to-air missiles and artillery shells to help defend against airborne threats. The sale would add to the $17.9 billion in military aid already provided to Israel since the war began on October 7, 2023. Despite criticism from lawmakers such as Senator Bernie Sanders over civilian casualties, the administration has decided not to limit arms transfers at this time. The package is expected to be reviewed by leaders of the House Foreign Affairs Committee and the Senate Foreign Relations Committee before a final decision is made.
