Since the October 7 attacks, some officials have described an expedited policy process to transfer arms to Israel while insisting the government continues to comply with the law. That said, it is unclear whether the same policy controls implemented by the Obama administration after the above-referenced incident (i.e., consultation with the White House and the State Department before approving Israel’s requests for arms) are still in place. Those policies could have been changed under President Trump, and if they weren’t, it is possible that they have been altered under President Biden given the “tiger team” he has established to expedite transfers of arms to Israel. Some former officials have described the Biden administration bypassing its own policy processes to quickly transfer arms to Israel.
