The United States has in recent days authorized the transfer of several billion dollars of military equipment to Israel. A decision which aroused the ire of the Democrats.
Washington provides military aid amounting to $3.8 billion (3.52 billion euros) each year to its Israeli ally. Some Democrats and Arab-American groups are criticizing the Joe Biden administration's unwavering support for Israel, which they say gives the Jewish state a feeling of impunity. The military aid follows a visit to Washington by Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, who this week discussed Israel's weapons needs.
