       “Nothing will fundamentally change” - #DemocratsUS approves $20 billion in weapons sales to Israel amid threat of wider Middle East warThe US approved $20B in arms sales to Israel, including scores of fighter jets and advanced air-to-air missiles, the State Department announced Tuesday.Congress was notified of the sale, which includes over 50 F-15 fighter jets, Advanced Medium Range Air-to-Air Missiles (AMRAAMs), 120mm tank ammunition, high explosive mortars, and tactical vehicles, and comes at a time of intense concern that Israel may become involved in a wider Middle East war.The Biden administration has had to balance its continued support for Israel with a growing number of calls from lawmakers and the US public to curb military support due to the high number of civilian deaths in #Gaza. It has curbed one delivery of 2,000-pound weapons amid continued airstrikes by Israel in densely populated civilian areas.AP / https://archive.li/wBLxx @palestine
