The Biden administration authorised the transfer of billions of dollars worth of bombs and fighter jets to Israel, according to the Washington Post.
The new arms supplies include more than 1,800 MK84 2,000-pound bombs and 500 MK82 500-pound bombs, according to Pentagon and State Department officials familiar with the situation. These officials talked with The Washington Post under the condition of anonymity because recent authorisations have not been made public.
The publication is not officially acknowledged as the Defence and Security Cooperation Agency (DSCA) has not informed Congress officially.
At the end of the article, the publication stated that the State Department authorised the shipment of 25 F-35A fighter jets and engines valued at approximately $2.5 billion to Israel. The sources are once more “U.S. officials.” The article stated that the government was not compelled to issue a new notification to lawmakers as Congress approved the case in 2008.
