U.S. plans $320mln weapons transfer to Israel amid war on Gaza

The Biden administration is planning a $320 million transfer of precision bombs and weapons for Israel, according to three people familiar with the matter, amid Israel’s limitless bombardment of Gaza.

The agreement said Rafael USA, a weapons manufacturer, will transfer bombs to its Israeli parent company for use by Israel, according to correspondence seen by the Wall Street Journal.

The news comes shortly after the White House said U.S. President Joe Biden and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu “discussed the possibility of tactical pauses” to allow civilians to safely depart from under-attack areas.
