The Biden administration has told key lawmakers it is sending a new package of more than $1 billion in arms and ammunition to Israel, three congressional aides said Tuesday.

It’s the first arms shipment to Israel to be announced by the administration since it put another arms transfer — consisting of 3,500 bombs — on hold this month. The administration has said it paused that earlier transfer to keep Israel from using the bombs in its growing offensive in the crowded southern Gaza city of Rafah.

    Usually I say something bad about Biden. How about I try to defend him this time? He can’t help himself. It’s kind of like a tick. Some of us are alcoholics while others need to complete a genocide in order to start an end of world event… None of us are perfect.
