The Trump administration moved forward with the sale of over 20,000 US-made assault rifles to Israel, a sale that the Biden administration had delayed over concerns they could be used by extremist Israeli settlers. The State Department sent a notification to Congress for the $24 million sale, stating that the end user would be the Israeli National Police. The sale drew attention due to concerns that the weapons could end up in the hands of Israeli settlers who have carried out attacks on Palestinians. The Biden administration has imposed sanctions on individuals and entities involved in violence in the Israeli-occupied West Bank.
