US President Joe Biden’s administration’s decision to bypass the congressional approval process to transfer weapons to Israel last week “undermines transparency” and “keeps Americans in the dark,” congressional leaders in Biden’s Democratic party said. Democratic Senators Tim Kaine and Chris Van Hollen issued statements over the weekend criticizing the decision which skipped the congressional approvals process. “The administration’s decision to repeatedly short-circuit……undermines transparency and weakens accountability. The public deserves answers,” Mr Van Hollen said.
