Two high-ranking Republicans in Congress on Thursday asked the president to stand by US military sales to Israel. Their letter came in response to efforts to block support for Israel amid the war there and in the Palestinian territories.
Sen. Jim Risch of Idaho and Rep. Michael McCaul of Texas wrote a letter to US President Joe Biden regarding “calls to delay the sale of important munitions” to Israel. The two are the top Republicans on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and the House Foreign Affairs Committee, respectively.
