Democrats in the House appeared to back away from a plan to urge the Biden administration to delay a proposed $735 million arms sale to Israel amid the ongoing conflict with the Gaza Strip on Tuesday.
House Majority leader Rep. Steny Hoyer (D-MD) and Foreign Affairs Committee chairman Rep. Gregory Meeks (D-NY) will not send a letter requesting the sale’s delay after the Biden administration agreed to brief committee members on the matter, ABC News reported.
