US President Joe Biden has approved a $680 million arms deal with the Israeli occupation, including shipments of precision munitions, according to international media =

American sources reported that the deal coincides with the start of a ceasefire between Tel Aviv and Hezbollah, mediated by the United States and France.

The deal includes supplying Tel Aviv with additional sets of Joint Directed Munitions (JDAMs) and small bombs.

Earlier, the US Senate rejected three bills to prevent arms sales to Tel Aviv, with broad support from Democratic and Republican members.

Despite Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's announcement of delays in the delivery of weapons, American officials denied that this was intentional, indicating that the delivery of specific bombs was postponed due to humanitarian concerns related to their use in Gaza.

It is noteworthy that the Biden administration had threatened to stop military aid to Tel Aviv unless the humanitarian situation in Gaza improved.
