The Biden administration has released $3.5 billion to Israel for the purchase of U.S. weapons and military equipment. This funding is part of a larger $14.1 billion supplemental aid package that was passed by Congress in April. The release of funds comes amid rising tensions between Israel and Iran. The funds are allocated under the Foreign Military Financing program, which allows Israel to acquire advanced military technology from the United States.
