Israel’s Arms Delivery Amid Ceasefire Push

Despite ongoing efforts by the Biden administration to push for a ceasefire in Gaza, reports indicate that the U.S. is planning to send additional weapons, including MK-82 bombs and KMU-572 Joint Direct Attack Munitions, to Israel. This proposed arms delivery, estimated to be worth tens of millions of dollars, is currently under internal review by the administration.

However, the details of the proposal could still change before congressional committee leaders are notified for approval. The decision to proceed with this arms transfer comes amid criticism of the Biden administration for supplying arms to Israel, especially amidst allegations of civilian casualties resulting from the conflict in Gaza.
