Earlier today, we learned that the Biden administration approved the sale of $735 million in precision-guided weapons to Israel. Congress has just a few days to issue a resolution disapproving of the transaction.
The sale, of course, comes as Israel continues its unrelenting assault on the Gaza Strip, increases the suffocating and deadly presence of its occupation forces in the West Bank, works to further colonize East Jerusalem, and facilitates the demonization and physical assault of its Palestinian citizens. In Gaza alone, the Al Mezan Center for Human Rights reports that 41,900 people have already been displaced by Israel’s bombing campaign.
As the devastation and death toll mounts, the U.S. has blocked three U.N. resolutions in the past week, continuing a trend of shielding Israel from international pressure and accountability.
