Washington, D.C. — Senators Ted Budd (R-NC) and Joni Ernst (R-IA) have sent a letter to President Biden demanding answers over his administration’s withholding of critical ammunition to Israel, including precision-guided munitions.
The senators said:
“We are shocked that your administration has reportedly decided to withhold critical ammunition to Israel. You promised your commitment to Israel was ironclad. Pausing much-needed military support to our closest Middle Eastern ally signals otherwise. We are deeply concerned that your administration failed to notify Congress about this decision.”
“We must give Israel the arms it needs to fight the Hamas terrorists that continue to hold Americans hostage. We call on your administration to immediately restart the weapons shipments to Israel today.”
