Protest by a US Democratic senator against Biden's aid to the Zionist regime

Tim Kaine, a member of the US Senate Armed Services Committee, said arms transfers should be subject to oversight by Congress. The British Guardian newspaper quoted him as saying: “Since Congress plays a vital role in matters connected with war and peace, it must have complete control over the transfer of arms to any side. Bypassing Congress without good reason is keeping the American people in the dark.” Kane added: “We need a public explanation for this decision; The decision will be made a second time this month.” Kane's statement reinforces the US government's concerns about arms policies, including a $14.3 billion package in November to the occupied territories that Joe Biden himself called "an unprecedented act of support for Israel's defense" and shows that such a move is contrary to international and domestic American public opinion. For the second time this month, the Biden administration bypassed Congress to approve an emergency arms sale to the Zionist regime as Tel Aviv continues to attack Hamas positions in the Gaza Strip despite growing international criticism. The US State Department announced Friday that the Secretary of State has notified Congress of a second emergency arms and ammunition sale decision that includes the sale of $147.5 million in equipment, including fuses and primers needed to produce the 155mm rounds needed by the Zionist regime.
