Two U.S. officials familiar with the matter said that the Trump administration bypassed the U.S. Congress by using emergency authority to expedite the sale of more than 20,000 bombs to Israel, valued at approximately $650 million. This sale was conducted outside of the typical congressional review process. The officials emphasized that the decision was made to ensure Israel's security. The deal includes various types of munitions that could be used in the ongoing conflict. This decision has sparked debates about the limits of executive power in foreign policy.
