Going around Congress, the Biden administration says it's approved the emergency sale to Israel of nearly 14,000 rounds of tank ammunition worth more than $106 million as Israel intensifies its military operations in the southern Gaza Strip.

拜登政府在国会表示，已批准向以色列紧急出售近1.4万发坦克弹药，价值超过1.06亿美元，目前以色列加强了在加沙地带南部的军事行动。

The State Department said in a statement Saturday that it notified Congress of the sale late Friday after Secretary of State Antony Blinken determined, quote, "an emergency exists that requires the immediate sale" of the ammunitions in the U.S. national security interest.

美国国务院在周六的一份声明中表示，在国务卿安东尼·布林肯确定“存在紧急情况，需要立即出售”符合美国国家安全利益的弹药后，国务院于周五晚些时候通知了国会。

That means the purchase will bypass the congressional review requirement for military sales.

这意味着此次采购将绕过国会对军售的审查要求。

Such determinations are rare but not uNPRecedented, when administrations see an urgent need for weapons to be delivered without waiting for lawmakers' approval.

这样的决定很少见，但并非没有先例，因为政府认为目前急需交付武器，不能再等国会批准了。
