(AP) — The U.S. has approved $165 million in weapons sales to Israel to fund heavy-duty tank trailers, the State Department announced Thursday.
The systems include spare and repair parts, tool kits and technical and logistics support. They are not expected to be delivered until 2027.
Earlier this year, the U.S. announced a mammoth $20 billion weapons support package for Israel to include F-15 fighter jets. Like the tank trailers, those systems will not be delivered for several years and will not affect current Israeli military operations amid its 11-month-old war against Hamas militants in Gaza.
The Biden administration has had to balance its continued support for Israel with a growing number of calls from lawmakers and the public to curb military support there due to the high number of civilian deaths in Gaza.
It has curbed one delivery of 2,000-pound bombs amid continued airstrikes by Israel in densely populated civilian areas in Gaza.
Why did Biden give $6 billion to Iran, our enemy now using those funds to kill Israelis and our troops (in Syria), and only $165 million to Israel, our ally that is losing soldiers on our behalf?
US policy selling arms to Iran – who in turn sell them to Russia!!! IRAN enjoys revenue from Oil and can do without selling to US. Unless zuS is paying in weapons for oil?
