Palestinian Americans lobby US lawmakers over $2.8bn Israel arms deal

More than 300 Palestinian Americans met over 100 US lawmakers in Washington to oppose a reported $2.8bn Trump-approved arms package to Israel. Organisers say the transfer, including 2,000-pound bombs, defies majority public support for conditioning military aid. Several Democrats have vowed to block it, as Congress has long resisted such efforts.
