It’s unclear at this point how the deal will be financed, but many arms sales to Israel are funded by US military aid, and US assistance to Israel has significantly increased since October 7, 2023.

Yeah, well here's the thing about "deals." When you make them, you usually get something in return. Otherwise, it's just a 510 million dollar giveaway. Call it what it is.
