As President Joe Biden prepares to leave office, his administration has notified Congress of a proposed $8 billion arms sale to Israel, which includes various military munitions such as missiles and bombs. This comes alongside ongoing conflicts in Gaza, where civilian casualties have raised concerns. The decision reflects Biden’s commitment to supporting Israel’s defense capabilities, despite criticisms and political backlash. The sale is expected to be one of his final acts before President-elect Donald Trump’s inauguration, who has also voiced support for Israel amidst the conflict.
