Two key Democrats in the U.S. Congress, Representative Gregory Meeks and Senator Ben Cardin, have approved a major arms sale to Israel, including 50 F-15 fighter jets worth over $18 billion. The decision came after intense pressure from the Biden administration and pro-Israel advocates. The arms package, which had been held up for months due to concerns about civilian casualties in Gaza and access to aid, also includes air-to-air missiles and precision-guided munitions. Despite congressional approval, the Biden administration has delayed proceeding with the sale, according to the Washington Post.
