Democrats want President Joe Biden’s administration to deliver a thorough, detailed report on how Israel is using U.S. weapons — and they want it really soon.
“This is going to be the first of many tests,” Sen. Tim Kaine told NOTUS of the administration’s ability to oversee military aid to the region. “Does it establish a fair hurdle, way too high of a hurdle, or a two-inch hurdle that is essentially, you know, meaningless?”
The Biden administration told lawmakers it will miss its own Wednesday deadline to produce the report, which is expected to determine whether Israel has violated international humanitarian law. Biden issued the National Security Memorandum, requiring the report by May 8, in February.
