    This is how the source author explained it:

    In short:

    1. US citizens pay tax
    2. US government set federal budgets, which includes allocations for the Foreign Military Financing program
    3. Money goes from US treasury to State Department at the start of fiscal year
    4. State Department manages FMF globally
    5. Israel request to buy US arms
    (we are here)
    6. US government reviews request

    From the article:

    “I remain firmly committed to Israel’s security and its ability to defend itself against serious regional threats. But the Trump administration’s proposed sale of 40,000 2,000-pound bombs, some of the most destructive munitions in our arsenal, raises grave, unresolved concerns about how these munitions could be used in densely populated areas of Gaza and Lebanon.

    “The Trump administration has not provided sufficient assurances that these weapons will be used by the Netanyahu government in accordance with U.S. law and with appropriate protections for civilians. I therefore will not clear this sale at this time. This decision does not diminish Congressional support for Israel’s legitimate defense needs; it reflects Congress’s responsibility to ensure that U.S.-funded weapons are used lawfully, responsibly, and with meaningful safeguards for human life."

    Netanyahu is probably over there like "but that's the entire point!!!"

    I'd rather not have the republicans own the house and senate. Its clearly not going well.

    Thats not a sign of faith that dems are magical saviors.
