US Secretary of State Antony Blinken has approved weapons sales of more than $20 billion to Israel, including F-15 fighter jets and nearly 33,000 tank shells.
In a notification to Congress, the State Department says that the sales “will improve Israel’s capability to meet current and future enemy threats.”
The F-15s aren’t expected to arrive for several years, but their sale in the middle of a Gaza war is likely to further upset progressives.
