The United States is to send $1 billion in fresh military aid to Israel, according to reports.
According to media reports, the Biden administration has informed Congress that it intends to give a $1 billion package of military aid to Israel, despite the US' objections to a full-scale invasion of Rafah in southern Gaza and worries over mounting civilian casualties. According to Reuters, the US Department of State sent the package to Congress for consideration on Tuesday, citing two anonymous US officials. According to congressional aides, the package, which has yet to be approved, contains approximately $700 million in tank ammo, $500 million in tactical vehicles, and $60 million in mortar rounds. The request for approval for the transfer of lethal weapons comes a week after President Joe Biden halted a single shipment of bombs due to concerns about Israel's offensive in Rafah, in Gaza's southernmost tip, from which the UN estimates that nearly half a million people have fled.
