The United States' decision to move forward with plans to send weapons to Israel comes amid President Joe Biden's efforts to push for a ceasefire in the ongoing conflict between Israel and Palestinians. According to a report by the Wall Street Journal, despite calls for a halt in hostilities, the U.S. is proceeding with the sale of arms to Israel.
The move raises concerns among critics as it could potentially escalate the violence in the region, which has already claimed hundreds of lives and displaced thousands of civilians. President Biden has been under pressure both domestically and internationally to take a more assertive stance in ending the conflict and promoting peace between the two sides.
