A recent independent investigation released by the Institute for Global Accountability has mapped a surge in U.S. arms transfers to Israel during the Biden administration, revealing a pattern of rapid approvals and minimal congressional oversight. The report documents 35 major shipments, including advanced missile systems and drone technology, that bypassed standard review protocols.

These findings raise urgent questions about the U.S. commitment to human rights and the legality of its support in the ongoing Gaza conflict. The lack of transparent reporting and the speed of approvals suggest a systemic failure to hold the executive branch accountable for its foreign policy decisions.

Lawfare reports that the investigation underscores the need for stricter congressional oversight, independent audits, and public disclosure to ensure that U.S. arms sales align with international law and domestic accountability standards.
