00:00Why do 100% of U.S. arms sales to Israel face global scrutiny?
00:05This week, a $510 million deal is making headlines. Here's the breakdown.
00:10On June 30, the U.S. State Department approved a $510 million package for Israel,
00:15over 7,000 JDAM guidance kits. These kits use GPS to turn regular bombs into precision-guided
00:21weapons, aiming for greater accuracy. The deal also includes fuses, spare parts,
00:27and support services, with Boeing as the main contractor. Congress has 15 days to object,
00:32but approval is almost certain. This sale comes as Israel faces global criticism for its military
00:38operations in Gaza, where hundreds of civilians have been killed in recent weeks. Supporters argue
00:44the kits help Israel defend itself and reduce collateral damage. Critics say increased precision
00:50doesn't necessarily prevent civilian casualties. Despite rising calls to halt arms exports to
00:55Israel, the U.S. continues its long-standing military support, especially as regional tensions
01:01remain high. Stay tuned for more updates on this developing story.
