Democrats back off demand that Biden delay U.S. arms sale to Israel Christopher Wilson Democrats on the House Foreign Affairs Committee backed away on Tuesday from requesting a delay in a planned U.S. arms sale to Israel, but signaled they would continue to pressure the White House on its policy toward the region. According to multiple reports, Chairman Gregory Meeks, D-N.Y., had been expected to request a delay in the sale of $735 million in precision-guided missiles amid ongoing clashes between the Israeli military and Hamas militants that have left hundreds dead. Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, D-Md., told reporters Tuesday morning that the committee would not be sending a letter requesting the delay, saying, “Chairman Meeks has indicated that he’s going to pursue discussions with the administration on this.”
