US Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced on Saturday that this certificate will expedite the delivery of military aid to the Israeli regime.
The Donald Trump administration announced the sending of a $7 billion arms package to Israel, including ammunition and missiles, just days after Congress blocked the initial agreement.
When the United States intends to sell weapons above a certain amount, the State Department notifies Congress and provides information to the House and Senate Foreign Relations Committees so that, after formal notification to Congress, the sales can be approved by the two committees.
Previously, some prominent Democratic figures and congressional representatives had called on the previous US administration to limit the sale of billions in weapons to Israel with the aim of reducing civilian casualties in Gaza.
The Wall Street Journal wrote in this regard: Given the deaths of more than 46,600 people in Gaza since the war in the strip, Biden decided to cancel the sale of 2,000-pound bombs to Israel. But Trump canceled the order at the very beginning and justified this action in front of reporters, saying: They paid for it and they waited a long time.
