    I see Biden has learned nothing. He seems really determined to undermine himself as much as possible going into the next election. I’m not sure this country can survive another Republican presidency nevermind if Trump actually wins. If Trump wins in 2024 we might as well just rip up the constitution because it will likely require military intervention to pry Trump out of the Whitehouse if he gets in again and he and the Republicans will have 4 more years to cement the takeover of the executive and judiciary they started in 2016.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    The administration is also weighing using Arms Export Control Act emergency authorities to allow a portion of the ammunition, 13,000 of the 45,000 shells, to bypass the committee and review period, two U.S. officials said, although a final decision was yet to be made.

    Senator Chris Van Hollen, a Democrat on the chamber’s foreign relations committee, said congressional view was a critical step for large weapons sales.

    Online images of the war show that Israel regularly deploys Merkava tanks in its Gaza offensive and on its southern border with Lebanon, where skirmishes have erupted since Oct. 7.

    Israel has sharply increased strikes on the Gaza Strip since a seven-day-long truce ended a week ago, pounding the length of the Palestinian enclave and killing hundreds in a new, expanded phase of the war that Washington said veered from Israeli promises to do more to protect civilians.

    “By continuing to provide Israel with weapons and diplomatic cover as it commits atrocities, including collectively punishing the Palestinian civilian population in Gaza, the U.S. risks complicity in war crimes,” said Louis Charbonneau, UN director at Human Rights Watch.

    Israel launched what it says is a campaign to destroy Hamas after the Islamist militant group attacked Israeli towns in a surprise cross-border incursion on Oct. 7, killing 1,200 people and taking more than 240 hostages.
