Congress finds the following: In 2016 the Obama Administration concluded negotiations with Israel for a 10-year Memorandum of Understanding covering security assistance for fiscal years 2019 to 2028 that affirmed “the unshakeable commitment of the United States to Israel’s security”. In May 2024, the Biden Administration delayed shipment of 1,800 2,000-pound bombs and 1,700 500-pound bombs to Israel in an effort to place political pressure on the Government of Israel. This decision of the Biden Administration was made without consulting or notifying Congress and despite repeated public assurances that the United States-Israel relationship was “ironclad” and that there was “no change in policy”.
On May 8, 2024, President Biden stated regarding Israel, “We’re not going to supply the weapons and artillery shells.”.
