WASHINGTON, March 6 (Reuters) - The U.S. State Department said on Friday it has made a determination approving a possible foreign military sale to Israel of munitions and munitions support for $151.8 million, without congressional review.
Israel has requested to buy 12,000 BLU-110A/B general purpose, 1,000-pound bomb bodies, the State Department said in a statement.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio determined that an emergency existed that required the immediate sale to Israel. The announcement comes during the U.S. and Israel’s war against Iran.
