Multiple American media outlets have reported that the Biden administration has informed Congress that it intends to sell weapons to Israel, including tank shells and combat vehicles, totaling more than $1 billion, or more than 155 billion yen in Japanese yen. I told you.

The Biden administration has opposed Israel's large-scale ground operation to Rafah in the southern Gaza Strip, and has just announced that it has halted some shipments of ammunition 

White House Press Secretary Jean-Pierre said in a press briefing on the 15th: "We have expressed concern about the large-scale operation in Rafah. However, we remain steadfast in our commitment to Israel's security and its commitment to Israel's defense needs." "I have always stated that I want to be able to have access to this," he said, emphasizing that there is no change in his stance of supporting Israel's defense.

American media have pointed out that this arms sale policy is an expression of the Biden administration's desire to avoid further deepening the rift with Israel over the large-scale ground operation against Rafah.
