US sending Israel 20,000 assault rifles that Biden had delayed: Reuters
- The Trump administration moved forward with selling over 20,000 U.S.-made assault rifles to Israel after the Biden administration delayed the sale due to concerns about extremist Israeli settlers' potential use of the weapons.
- The sale includes Colt Carbine 5.56mm caliber fully automatic rifles for the Israeli National Police, as notified to Congress on March 6.
- The Biden administration has imposed sanctions on individuals accused of violence in the West Bank, where settler attacks on Palestinians have increased.
- Despite concerns raised, the U.S. Senate rejected efforts to block $8.8 billion in arms sales to Israel, voting overwhelmingly against resolutions of disapproval on military equipment sales.
