The symbolic dissent over the U. S. policy toward Israel has been shown by the Senate aligning along the partisan lines; the Senate on Thursday adopted the bill that would oblige the president of Biden to send the weapons to Israel.
The Israel Security Assistance Support Act, among other things, was voted for 224 against 187 with party-line support. The overwhelming majority of Republicans supported the measure, while the party-line break occurred with only three Republicans and most Democrats opposing it.
The bill’s passage follows the Biden administration’s suspending its planned shipment of 2,000-pound and 500-pound bombs for Israel and conducting a review on the prospective arms sale to armor the lives during the Israel-Hamas confrontation. Republicans accused the President of being “turned away from Israel,” while Democrats stated that PP was just a “political calculation” rather than a serious move.
Even though the Congressional review process would likely prolong the package approval, the deal is a critical factor in the package of $1 billion in weapons that is now entering the review process. The confrontation over the Trump administration’s dealings with Israel manifests to this day the long-standing divides in the U.S. as it tries to grapple with the intricacy of the Area’s problem.
