News - World: The Biden administration has told Congress that it intends to move forward with a plan for the United States to sell more than $1 billion in new weapons to Israel, three congressional aides said Tuesday.

According to The Wall Street Journal, the package being sent includes about $700 million for tank ammunition, $500 million in tactical vehicles, and $60 million in mortar rounds.

Israel began hostilities in Gaza on October 7 after the Palestinian resistance movement Hamas carried out Operation Al-Aqsa Storm against the usurping entity in retaliation for the regime's intensified atrocities against the Palestinian people.

The regime has also cut off fuel, electricity, food, and water to the more than two million Palestinians living there.

Since then, the United States has supplied the Tel Aviv regime with more than 10,000 tons of military equipment and used its veto power against all United Nations Security Council resolutions that called for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza.

Israel has killed more than 35,000 Palestinians and injured nearly 79,000 others in Gaza since the October day.
