Shaheen holds up $2.8B arms sale to Israel

Senator Jeanne Shaheen, a top Democrat on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, has been blocking a $2.8 billion arms sale to Israel since July. She has raised concerns about how the weapons might be used in conflicts involving Syria, Lebanon, Gaza, and Iran. Shaheen has requested clarification from the Trump administration regarding Israel's intended use of the arms. This action aligns with broader Democratic opposition to the proposed sale, including comments from House Foreign Affairs Committee member Gregory Meeks, who expressed concerns about civilian protection and compliance with U.S. law. The move reflects growing Democratic skepticism toward the Netanyahu government amid shifting public opinion in the United States.
