Biden bypasses Congress again to send more arms to Israel
US President Joe Biden bypassed Congress for a second time this month to approve another emergency arms sale for Israel amid its ongoing war in the besieged Gaza Strip, his administration announced Friday.
Secretary of State Antony Blinken notified Congress that an emergency exists, requiring him to circumvent the traditional congressional notification period for foreign military sales in order to approve the immediate sale of an estimated $147.5 million worth of M107 155mm artillery shells and related equipment.
