WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The Biden administration is moving forward with a $680 million arms sales package to Israel, a U.S. official familiar with the plan said on Wednesday, even as a U.S.-brokered ceasefire in Lebanon between Israel and Hezbollah has come into force.
The package, which was first reported by the Financial Times, includes thousands of Joint Direct Attack Munitions (JDAM) kits and hundreds of small diameter bombs, according to the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity.
