US Senators Accuse Israel of Blocking Transfer of Iron Dome to Ukraine.

Israel is reportedly blocking the transfer of two US-owned Iron Dome batteries to Ukraine to boost its air defense against Russia. While funded by the US, the Iron Dome was developed by Israel, and Jerusalem has a veto over whether the US can sell the missile defense system to other nations. Republican Senator Lindsey Graham and Democratic Senator Chris Van Hollen wrote in a letter to the leaders of the Senate Armed Services Committee that Israel has blocked the transfer of the batteries to Ukraine due to serious concerns.
