U.S. Approves $3 Billion Arms Deal with Israel Amid Ceasefire Talks

The Trump administration has approved a significant arms sale to Israel, valued at nearly $3 billion.

Negotiators are working to extend the ceasefire and move toward a lasting resolution.

This arms deal underscores the U.S.'s continued support for Israel, even as the region navigates a fragile peace process.
