GOP Senators Urge Biden to End Israel Arms Hold

Republicans claim delays in military aid to Israel are endangering U.S. troops and empowering terrorists.

  • 48 Republican senators sent a letter to President Biden demanding the lifting of a partial arms embargo on Israel.
  • They argue that the delay in weapons shipments has emboldened Iran-backed groups like Hamas and Hezbollah.
  • The senators cite recent attacks, including a deadly missile strike by Hezbollah that killed 12 children in northern Israel.
  • The Biden administration has withheld certain military supplies over concerns about their use in densely populated areas.
  • Sen. Rand Paul was the only Republican senator who did not sign the letter, maintaining his stance against foreign aid.
