US Representative Ilhan Omar will this week introduce legislation to disapprove of a multimillion-dollar package of bomb equipment for Israel proposed by the Biden administration, a source familiar with her plans has told HuffPost.

It will pose the “first congressional challenge to the US policy of uninterrupted and expanding military support for Israel amid its deadly campaign in Gaza”, the report highlighted.
