The Biden administration is close to approving the sale of as many as 50 American-made F-15 fighter jets to Israel, in a deal expected to be worth more than $18 billion, according to three people familiar with the matter.
The transaction, which would amount to the largest US foreign military sale to Israel since the country went to war with Hamas on October 7, comes as the administration is also expected to notify Congress soon of a large new sale of precision-guided munitions kits to Israel, the people said.

1) Give them money as aid
2) Let them use this money to buy our weapons and aircraft
3) we get our own money back

I guess giving weapons and aircraft as aid, directly, is frowned upon by the UN or something?

They also use some of that money to bribe Congress.

Yeah, why not just give them the jets instead of pretending they're paying for it.

F-15s wont be delivered immediately
Unlike the precision guided munitions, the new F-15s would need to be built from scratch and would likely not be delivered to Israel for 4-5 years.


Seems like it's for a future sale. Honestly...Biden admin should deny the sale for now just due to optics.

Sources told CNN that it was unclear why the Biden administration would approve such a large sale now, during an election year when the presidents policy towards Israel is under a microscope. The sale is not particularly urgent, given that Israel wont be getting the jets for another few years, anyway.

The Republicans won't stonewall aid to Israel.

At this point Biden deserves to lose in November. I absolutely don't want him to lose, given the alternative, but he deserves to.
