The Biden administration has notified Congress of a proposed $8 billion arms sale to Israel, which includes various munitions amid ongoing conflict in Gaza. This decision follows widespread protests calling for an arms embargo against Israel while the Biden administration maintains its support, citing threats from Iran-backed groups. The situation has led to severe humanitarian crises and international criticism, with calls for ceasefire resolutions largely vetoed by Washington. The deal requires approval by Congress and comes as President Biden prepares to leave office.
