The Biden administration is moving forward with a $680 million arms sales package to Israel, including direct attack munition kits and small-diameter bombs, despite the recent ceasefire in Lebanon. This comes after a $20 billion sale of fighter jets and military equipment to Israel in August. The package has been in the works for several months and was brought to congressional committees in September. Progressive U.S. senators attempted to block the sale over concerns about the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, but the legislation was rejected. The Biden administration has expressed unwavering support for Israel's security against Iran-backed threats.
