US President Donald Trump's administration approved the sale of weapons to Israel more than $ 7 billion. This happened contrary to the request of lawmakers-democrats to suspend the sale until additional information.

It is reported by " The Ministry of Defense of the United States announced that the State Department agreed on a package for Israel worth about 6.75 billion dollars.

It includes ammunition, aiming sets and fuses. The document also reports an agreement in the amount of 660 million US dollars for the sale of Hellfire missiles to Israel. The announcement of this agreement was made during the visit of the Prime Minister of Israel Benjamin Netanyahu to Washington, where he met with President Trump, representatives of the administration and members of the congress.

In turn, the Congressman Gregory Mix, a democrat from the Committee on Foreign Affairs of the House of Representatives, condemned what he considered a violation of customs to revise a major agreement on the sale of weapons by Congress. He said that he had discussed his concern with the administration that did not provide proper documents and justifications under this agreement.

"

He added that this decision means the lack of respect for Congress as an equal branch of power.

Until in the White House they did not respond to a request about the commentary. Recall, the other day, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu met with the President of the United States of America Donald Trump. One of the important goals of the visit was the discussion of the upcoming agreement on the ceasefire to free hostages in the war with Hamas in the Gaza Strip.
