The State Department on Friday announced a $7 billion arms sale to Israel, circumventing the congressional review process, according to Rep. Gregory Meeks, the top Democrat on the House Foreign Affairs Committee.

The announcement, which includes thousands of Hellfire missiles and bombs, comes days after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu met President Donald Trump and other top istration officials in Washington, DC. Netanyahu was the first foreign leader to meet with Trump at the White House in his second term.

During the standard congressional review process, the House Foreign Affairs Committee and the Senate Foreign Relations Committee are notified of the arms sale and given time to raise concerns and ask questions. But even with questions outstanding from Meeks, the istration pushed forward with the sale.

“This move is yet another repudiation by Donald Trump of Congress’ rightful and legitimate oversight prerogative,” Meeks said in a statement Friday. “Furthermore, (Secretary of State Marco) Rubio has failed to provide adequate justification or documentation for bying the Congressional Committee review process.”

A congressional aide said the move from the Trump istration left them “shocked, but not surprised” that the White House fails to respect the role of Congress. The aide pointed to Trump’s rapid dismantling of USAID as another indication of the White House’s disregard for congressional oversight and authority.

The multibillion-dollar foreign military sale is the first arms sale to Israel under the Trump istration, but Israel received billions in weapons sales from the US under the previous White House.

Last summer, the Biden istration approved a massive $20 billion arms sale to Israel, which included more than 50 F-15 fighter jets.

On Tuesday, Trump falsely claimed that he ended a “de facto arms embargo” on Israel from the Biden istration. In reality, former President Joe Biden had a hold last year on one shipment of 2,000-pound bombs over concerns that their potential use by the Israeli military in Gaza endangered Palestinian civilians.

Even after the Biden istration had paused the shipment of 2,000-pound bombs, the White House was working on another $1 billion sale to Israel.

Josh Paul, who resigned from the State Department in 2023 over Biden’s Gaza policy, said circumventing the congressional review process “has essentially given the middle finger to those and to Congressional oversight.”

“In light of President Trump’s comment just this week, in which he talked about Gaza being a hell and a demolition site, these are the weapons that made it a hell and a demolition site,” said Paul, who founded A New Policy, which advocates for changing US policy on the Israeli-Palestinian conflictState Department announces $7 billion arms sale to Israel, circumventing review process

What happened to America first? What is this wasteful spending? I thought he figured out how to do this without American involvement. And USAID is a terror organization because they don't want these people dead. Sick on so many levels!


And congress is no longer given the authority to approve or allocate funds. this is more transparency?

The man who sold the promise of ending the gaza conflict in other to win the pro Palestinian vote is now selling more arms to the opposition and planning complete clear out of Palestinians from Gaza, never ever believe a word from politicians

Democrats are so ANNOYING!

They keep BITCHING that a 34X CONVICTED FELON is not following the law.

Trump LAUNCHED a violent attack on the US Capitol that resulted in the death of NINE people including a Police Officer.

As if that wasn't BAD enough, he launched a SUSTAINED 4-year long assault on the DEMOCRACY of the United States by DENYING a free and fair election.

He cast DOUBT on the LARGEST and MOST MATURE democracy in the world, and the Dems LET him.

A Jury found that this guy was a RAPIST and documents PROVED that he flew MULTIPLE times on Epstein's LOLITA Express.

Dems did NOTHING!

Now instead of getting their first Female President, America got themselves a 3-in-1.

First FELON President.
First RAPIST President.
First PEDOPHILE President.

Dems played a LARGE part in that.
So their BITCHING has to stop!

When they had the Presidency, they did NOTHING!
Now they have NOTHING, they can do more of NOTHING.

One FOOLISH Dem Congresswoman even STERILISED herself because of Trump.

MADNESS!

Democrats should PREPARE themselves.

ALL 3 arms of the US government now BELONG to Trump.

And the 4th and 5th INFORMAL arms of the US government (the BILLIONAIRES and the Media) also BELONG to Trump.

Dems have ZERO recourse!

Only thing they can do now is to ask Diddy for his BABY OIL supplier so the ass-fuuucccking can be LESS brutal.

More Reasons for Wailing Wailers to keep Wailing!

Train your throats and voices very well.
Because you will need them to Wail out!
Hamas and Hezbollah Terrorists and SYMPATHIZERS Must be wiped off and you must wail.

Mother of all BOMBS ( MOAB) Have also being Delivered to the Children of ISRAEL.

TERRORISTS, TERROR ERS AND SYMPATHIZERS ARE IN TROUBLE!

BUT Make No MISTAKE!!
MOAB isn’t to FIGHT Hamas, Hezbollah or the Houthis. You all know what it’s for!
The Head of the Snake!!

THE MOTHER OF ALL BOMBS( MOAB) IS FOR THE FATHER OF ALL TERRORISTS!!

America can be trusted to look after their allies by proving them with weaponry they paid for. Including providing the MOAB (Mother of all bombs) in defense of its allies.

Kudos

The man of sin lied to the American people.

I can see pretenders and emergency lovers of christianity crying up there. Crying for people that don't give a shit about you and would lynch you the moment their cleric says go.

Since trump assumed office terrorists, their ers & sympathizees have been crying. What they expected ain't what they are seeing.
They expected Trump to force Israel to stop the war. 😂

As dumb as they are they don't understand that, no matter the U.S president that assumes office they will never attack Israel. Israel is the U.S eye in the middle East. And the only trustworthy Nation with sense around there. Let this sink.

What Isreal & U.S is doing to Jihadists currently is very necessary & the right step to take. If you want to defeat Islamic fanatics you have to show them you are 3X more crazy than them.

If they punch you once, punch them 3 times and put them on the floor if you have to or else they gain the confidence to strike you with a knife, then with guns and finally bombs.

Israel understands this message very well and is sending it to them daily.

From the River to Sea Israel will be free and every Palestine would flee. Mark my words.

Israel bought the weapons with money. Don't be a dunce.

Gaza cannot be rebuilt while people are there. Are they supposed to come and inhabit ruins?

Has any country that has been yapping for the Palestinians offered to rebuild Gaza?

Loo

Arabs actually thought Donald trump will end the war

Hmmm

He was never a politician from the onset. Just a bourgeoisie who found his was to power. The bourgeoisie are brutal than the politicians they don't see the world in gray just black and white.

Just like any other politicians in from his country he is a z1onist puppets. He either obey his z1on!5t masters of kiss his political career good bye.

I believe he has a good plan for his country but he is executing his plan poorly. He is isolating his country from the real allies who can actually do stuffs not the fake ally who can't survive on its own fighting ak 47 weilding freedom fighters firing sugar and fertilizer propelled rocket.

God bless America, Trump is doing God's work. All terrorists should go to hell

Hush. It's an arms deal. That's what allies do. Sell weapons to each other.

Terrorist European migrant zionist pigs buying more arms to kill armless civilians.

Israel is a US colony in the Middle East. Trump's plan to displace the Palestinians have been their unofficial policy from the beginning both Democrats and the Republicans.
This is the basis of their unflinching for Israel and it's genocidal actions.

So all the arm sales under Biden was reviewed abi? Abeg people wey lose elections should go and seat down

7Billi to kpai the kpaiables, omo, war is serious business.

From Gaza strip to Maga strip

Funny how Arabs were happy that Kamala lost. They thought Trump would stem the tide.

I foresee heart attack, HBP, stroke
..... For the wailers

As I have said before. Na now Israel go chop bellyful for US hand. For decades, the whole world including the “so called developed countries” has been chopping money from US and are so so ungrateful and unappreciative to the US. It has always been Israel that have always appreciated the US. Israel has shown US 100% loyalty and . While the rest of the world keep milking the US and blaming them for all their failures, they where also accusing Israel from also chopping or receiving chop from the US. Talk of double standards. The Muslim countries and Arab world including the “idiotic Iran” has chopped more money from the US than any region of the world and they are the same idiots always shouting “death to America”. Talk of the most ungrateful religion. This same idiots where the ones accusing US for allowing Israel to chop from them and are fighting to stop Israel of chop. But thank God for the coming of Trump. All country should go and manage their country and leave the US alone. The US pot of chops is now only available for the Americans and Israel. Case closed.

Both Democrats and Republicans, different parts of the same seven-headed demon
