Trump’s major move: Approves $151m emergency arms sale to Israel bypassing congress

Washington  (Web Desk): US President Donald Trump has formally approved an emergency arms sale to Israel worth $151.8 million amid escalating tensions in the Middle East.

According to international media reports, President Trump invoked his special emergency powers to bypass Congress in authorizing the deal.

Details released by the US State Department indicate that the defense package includes 12,000 high-powered bombs, among them 1,000-pound munitions capable of destroying large targets.

The immediate supply of these weapons is intended to enhance the operational capabilities of the Israeli Air Force.

Media reports suggest that the weapons will be shipped directly from US military stockpiles and a weapons manufacturing facility in Texas without long delays. US officials confirmed that the delivery was deemed “absolutely essential” given the current regional situation.

Analysts say President Trump’s use of emergency powers to bypass Congress underscores Washington’s readiness to go to any lengths to maintain Israel’s military superiority in the Middle East.

The decision is expected to spark debate within U.S. political circles, though the White House has defended it as necessary for national security and the defense of a key ally.
