According to the American media, President Joe Biden's government has informed Congress about a possible $8 billion military arms and equipment sale to Israel, with Washington continuing to assist its ally state whose assault in Gaza has claimed tens of thousands of lives.
The agreement, which includes artillery shells and explosives for fighter jets and attack helicopters, would require approval by Senate and House of Representatives committees.
According to the reports, the support package also contains warheads and small-diameter bombs.
According to one source familiar with the deal, Biden had made it clear that Israel had the right to defend its citizens "consistent with international law and international humanitarian law. "
The source also said that Washington would keep providing the weapons required for Israel's defense.
