News broke recently that the administration of President Joe Biden is mulling over a pointedly robust package deal for Israel: the potential supply of fighter jets and missiles valued at an impressive $18 billion. In the aftermath of the unsettlingly violent Hamas attacks on Israel this past October, this proposed deal is noteworthy indeed, potentially ranking as the most considerable since that time.

Per insider sources quoted by CNN, the proposed armament deal would encompass up to 50 spanking new F-15 fighter jets. Beyond the jets, the proposal also includes 30 AIM-120 Advanced Medium-Range Air-to-Air Missiles (AMRAAMs). Although no specific number has been cited yet, Joint Direct Attack Munition (JDAMs) also stand as part of this sizable defensive package.

The specifics of the deal, detailed by a Congressional aide and an additional administration official, were relayed with discretion, as final approval of the deal has yet to occur. Despite this, the overarching message appears clear: the Biden administration is gearing up to ratify this weapons transaction. A testament to this readiness is the preliminary information relayed to the relevant congressional committees.

Timelines for weaponry delivery indicate that the defensive tools wouldn't be in Israeli possession for quite some time. Yet the gesturing of this proposed arrangement arrives during intensifying pressures on President Biden - both from internal and external fronts - to rethink his support for Israel.
