Saudi arms deal OK by Israel, not N.Y. pols
By Lisa L. Colangelo from the New York Daily News
Israel's leader gave his grudging support yesterday to a U.S. plan to sell arms to Saudi Arabia - but two New York congressmen said they'll try to block the deal anyway. Prime Minister Ehud Olmert said he "understands" the Bush administration's support for the proposed $20 billion weapons deal, and that the U.S. has promised increased aid to Israel ... Sarri Singer, survivor of a 2003 bus bombing in Israel, said she supports Weiner and Nadler's call to block the deal. "We need to feel safe here and abroad," she said. "A deal like this ... is not going to make us any safer. In fact, it may make terrorism more prevalent in our lives every day."
