The U.S. Department of State has approved a possible Foreign Military Sale to Israel for munitions and related support services.

According to the department, the determination was made because the sale serves U.S. national security interests. The waiver enables the rapid transfer of defense articles and services to Israel.

The department said the proposed sale supports broader U.S. foreign policy objectives in the Middle East. It stated that Israel remains an important strategic partner in the region.
