Biden Administration Steps Up Military
Sales to Israel

The Biden administration has secretly approved more than 100 separate Foreign Military Sales to Israel since October 7 to support the mass killing of Palestinians in Gaza, the Washington Post reported on March 6. Israel receives $3.3 billion in annual Foreign Military Financing, a form of U.S. military aid that gives foreign governments money to purchase U.S. arms. Only two sales have been made public, one for $106 million worth of 120mm tank ammunition and one for $147.5 million in components needed to make 155mm artillery shells. The administration bypassed Congress to push the sales through as quickly as possible.
