Senate Demands Biden Resume All Weapon Shipments to Israel Immediately.

This Senate resolution condemns the Biden Administration's decision to pause a shipment of US-made bombs and ammunition intended for Israel. The document demands the immediate resumption of all military aid, arguing that withholding weapons emboldens adversaries like Iran and Hamas, potentially complicating regional stability and hostage negotiations. This action highlights a significant political disagreement over the direction of US foreign policy and security commitments.
Key points
The Senate formally condemns the Administration's halt of specific weapons shipments (including 2,000-pound bombs) to Israel, the first such pause since the October 7th attack.
It demands the Administration fulfill all outstanding military aid requests to ensure Israel has the necessary means to defend itself and defeat Hamas.
The resolution reaffirms the long-standing US commitment to Israel's security and the importance of expediting military assistance during crises.
