In a statement released by the Defense Security Cooperation Agency (DSCA) under the US Department of Defense, it was announced that the US Department of State has approved new arms sales to Israel.
While formal notification for the three separate arms sale approvals has been sent to Congress, no move to block the sales is expected in the Republican-majority Congress.
According to the first statement from the DSCA, the US has approved the sale of equipment related to a large number of D9 bulldozers to Israel, with the value of this sale stated to be around 295 million dollars.
In another statement, it was noted that the sale of a large number and variety of bombs and related parts to Israel, with a total value exceeding 2 billion dollars, has also been approved.
In the final statement from the agency, it was expressed that the sale of munitions, guidance kits, ammunition support, and related equipment to Israel, totaling 675 million dollars, has been approved.
The new arms sale approval from the US to Israel, worth approximately 3 billion dollars, has been recorded as the second sales package approved by the Donald Trump administration this month.
The Trump administration had also approved arms sales to Israel totaling 7.4 billion dollars just a few weeks ago.
