Trump admin approves new arms sales to Israel worth $6.67 billion

The Trump administration has approved a $6.67 billion arms sales package to Israel. This includes 30 Apache helicopters and 3,250 light tactical vehicles.

The State Department announced the sales amid rising tensions in the Middle East, particularly concerning potential U.S. military actions against Iran.

These sales are also expected to support President Trump's ceasefire plan for Gaza, aimed at stabilizing the region post-conflict.

The helicopter deal is valued at $3.8 billion, with the remaining funds allocated for tactical vehicles and other equipment.

The U.S. maintains that the sales will not disrupt regional military balances but will bolster Israel's defense capabilities.
