众议院外交委员会民主党领导人格雷戈里·米克斯对特朗普政府向以色列出售28亿美元武器的计划提出阻挠23。这批军事援助包包括4万枚一吨重炸弹13。米克斯在周二宣布了暂停决定，理由是特朗普政府未能充分保证这些武器将被以色列按美国法律使用且保护平民3。
虽然米克斯个人无法单方否决该交易，但其设置的保留意见可触发国会的非正式审查程序3。特朗普上台以来已向以色列批准或加快了超过120亿美元的军事援助3。
Gregory Meeks, the Democratic leader of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, has placed a hold on the Trump administration's $2.8 billion arms package to Israel, which includes 40,000 bombs.3 Meeks announced the suspension on Tuesday, stating that the administration had not provided sufficient assurances that these weapons would be used by the Israeli government in accordance with U.S. law and with appropriate protections for civilians.3
Though Meeks cannot unilaterally veto the sale, his hold triggers an informal congressional review process.3 The weapons package comprises various heavy ordnance, including MK-84 and BLU-117 bombs as well as armor-piercing warheads.3 Since taking office, the Trump administration has approved or expedited over $12 billion in military assistance to Israel.3 The hold reflects growing Democratic concerns over civilian casualties in Gaza; Biden administration lawyers concluded in 2024 that Israel's use of American weapons in Gaza violated international humanitarian law.3
