Biden bypasses Congress again on emergency Israel weapons sale
The Biden administration approved a second emergency weapons sale to Israel this month without Congress approval. The decision follows a December 9 action authorizing nearly 14 000 rounds of tank ammo worth over 106 million dollars. The move occurs as a 106 billion aid package for Ukraine Israel and other needs stalls in Congress amid immigration and border debates. Some lawmakers tie further assistance to Gaza civilian casualty reductions by Netanyahu’s government.

Netanyahu signals longer Gaza war as Hamas aims stay power
Blinken plans January return to Israel and the region as U S officials urge a shift from high intensity fighting to targeted moves. Netanyahu says the war will last many more months and vows to fight to annihilate Hamas with over 120 hostages held in Gaza after the Oct 7 assault that killed about 1,200 people. The dispute with Washington over Gaza’s postwar governance adds to tensions.
