Biden White House must expedite weapons to Israel, top foreign policy Republicans say
Fox News
FIRST ON FOX: The top Republicans on the Senate and House foreign policy committees are urging President Biden to expedite the planned weapons sales to Israel despite opposition from some Democrats concerned about further arming Israel amid the deadly Gaza conflict.
McCaul and Risch are the GOP leaders of the House Foreign Affairs Committee and the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. The Republicans' letter to Biden comes as progressives, led by Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders in the Senate, are trying to force a vote on a resolution blocking the recent sale of $735 million in weapons from the U.S. to the Israel Ministry of Defense, including Joint Direct Attack Munitions (JDAM) and Small Diameter Bombs.More Related News
