U.S. Approves $2.5 Billion Arms Package for Israel Amid Gaza Conflict

The Biden administration's decision to send bombs and fighter jets has been met with widespread criticism, citing support for potential genocide in Gaza.

Despite public appeals for restraint, the Biden administration has approved a new $2.5 billion arms package for Israel, including bombs and fighter jets.
The arms transfers include over 1,800 2,000-pound bombs and 500 MK82 500-pound bombs, as well as 25 F-35A fighter jets.
Critics, including U.S. lawmakers, human rights activists, and international leaders, have condemned the move, labeling it as support for genocide and a moral contradiction.
The arms shipments continue despite Israel's extensive use of these bombs in Gaza, leading to significant civilian casualties and destruction.
The International Court of Justice has found Israel plausibly committing genocide in Gaza, with the Biden administration's support drawing widespread criticism.
