Wild: So both Biden & Trump bypassed Congress to send aid to Israel—to support Israel’s "defense" in "wartime."
That "defense" made other nations embargo Israel.
Now (despite the Trump-led "ceasefire"), this policy would give the US another way to send even more arms to Israel.

NEW: Buried in the new defense bill is a policy to fill weapon “gaps” Israel gets as other nations embargo it.
As in: citing "wartime" needs, the US armed Israel’s genocide.
Nations responded by restricting weapons to Israel.
Now, citing those very restrictions, the US may send Israel *even more.*
