NNA – The US State Department used an quot;emergency salequot; loophole to circumvent congressional approval and send 14,000 rounds of tank ammunition to Israel.
quot;It is vital to US national interests to assist Israel to develop and maintain a strong and ready self-defense capability,quot; a department statement claimed. quot;This proposed sale is consistent with those objectives.quot;
Congress was only notified late on Friday after Sec State Anthony Blinken insisted the conflict in Gaza represented an emergency that affects US national security. — RT
