The Washington Post reported on the continuation of the sale of secret US weapons packages to the Zionist regime

While American officials are apparently concerned about the increase in the number of Palestinian civilian deaths, the Washington Post reported that the US government has sold more than 100 packages of weapons to the Israeli regime since the start of its attack on Gaza.

The Washington Post reported: Officials of the Biden administration recently informed members of the US Congress in a secret briefing that since the beginning of the Gaza war on October 7, and Sada have delivered more than one hundred separate foreign military sales to Israel, including thousands of precision-guided munitions, small-diameter bombs, anti-trench, small arms, and other US-made military equipment and ammunition.

The previously unreported three-digit figure is the latest sign of Washington’s extensive involvement in the past five months of conflict in the Gaza Strip, even as top US officials and lawmakers are increasingly skeptical of Israel’s military tactics in a war that has According to the health authorities of Gaza, more than 30,000 Palestinians have been killed during it, and they express their concern.

Since the start of Israel’s attack on the Gaza Strip, only 2 US arms sales to this regime have been made public, which consists of an arms package worth $106 million including tank ammunition and another arms package worth more than $147 million including parts needed for 155 mm bullets were made.

In these 2 cases especially, because the value of the weapons packages was more than 100 million dollars, the officials of the Biden administration informed the representatives of the American Congress and obtained their approval, but in the case of more than 100 other weapons packages using From the “Foreign Military Sales” (FMS) strategy, which allows the US government to sell weapons packages whose value is less than a certain amount, without obtaining the approval of the Congress of this country, it acted and sold these weapons packages to Israel. have delivered.

Jeremy Kunindik, one of the former senior officials of the Biden administration and the current head of the International Refugee Organization, said: This number and the large volume of American arms sales to Israel shows that the war of this regime in the Gaza Strip is sustainable without the continuation of this level of support from the United States. It will not be.

He added: With this action, even if the American soldiers do not directly drop bombs on the Palestinian people or press the trigger of the weapons, the deep involvement of the United States in the war against the Palestinian people in Gaza is clear.

Continuing his words, the United States cannot claim that Israel is an independent country that makes its own decisions, and that Washington cannot guess their decisions or interfere in making those decisions, and on the other hand, this provide this regime with a large amount of weapons in a short period of time and then act as if it is not directly involved in that war.

Palestinian resistance groups started the “Al-Aqsa Storm” operation from Gaza (southern Palestine) against the positions of the Israeli regime on October 15, 2023, which finally ended on December 3, 1402 (November 24, 2023) after 45 days of fighting. A four-day temporary cease-fire was established between Hamas and the Zionist regime.

This pause in the war continued for seven days and finally on the morning of Friday 10 Azar (December 1, 2023), the temporary ceasefire ended and the Israeli regime resumed attacks against Gaza.

In order to retaliate against the “Al-Aqsa Storm” attacks, compensate for its failure and stop the resistance operations, this regime has closed the crossings of the Gaza Strip and is bombarding this area.
