US Supplied Israel with More Weapons than Previously Disclosed – Washington Post
The United States Under Fire for Secretly Providing Arms Support to Israel
Recent reports have revealed a controversial claim regarding the United States’ involvement in supplying arms to Israel amidst the ongoing conflict in the Gaza Strip. According to an article in the Washington Post, the Biden administration has been sending a significant amount of weapons to Israel, far exceeding what has been publicly reported.
Allegations suggest that the US is selling weapons to Israel without the approval of Congress, fearing that the plan would not be authorized and may provoke backlash from the American public. The undisclosed weapons sale reportedly includes precision-guided ammunition, small-caliber bombs, penetrating bombs, and various other arms, some of which are being kept classified.
It was revealed that the US sold an additional 100 items of weaponry to Israel, in addition to the $573 million shipment that was recorded in public records. Despite mounting scrutiny and objections in Washington, the White House has chosen to remain silent on the matter, reaffirming their commitment to supporting Israel.
However, the secretive nature of these weapon sales has sparked criticism from Democratic Party Congressman Joaquin Castro, who raised concerns about the lack of Congressional approval and transparency surrounding the transactions. The controversy surrounding the US’s arms support to Israel appears to be escalating, with calls for accountability and greater oversight in the future.
