Blinken says White House will go through with arms sale to Israel

Secretary of State Antony Blinken said the Biden administration will follow through with a $732 million arms sale to Israel — despite opposition from progressive Democrats like Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Sen. Bernie Sanders.

Israel and the Palestinian militant group Hamas announced an Egyptian-brokered cease-fire last Thursday, halting more than a week of fighting. The truce was still holding on Sunday.
