| State Department bypasses congressional review to approve tank ammunition sale with Israel |
| 2023-12-10 |
| [Washington Examiner] The State Department approved a multimillion-dollar sale to provide 13,000 rounds of tank ammunition to Israel amid its war against Hamas, bypassing congressional review that is typically required for arms sales to foreign nations. Department officials notified Congress that they would be moving forward with the $106.5 million sale in a late-night announcement on Friday, justifying the decision by calling the current situation in Israel an "emergency" that "requires the immediate sale to the Government of Israel of the above defense articles and services in the national security interests of the United States." The approval comes despite congressional committees not yet completing a separate review of a larger order made by Israel earlier this week. |
