America’s arson in Gaza; From the flood of weapons to sabotage in the Security Council

Mehr News, International Group: Western countries during the genocide of the Zionist regime in Gaza during 6 months They have played a significant role in the past; The issue that caused the supreme leader of the revolution to address this issue in his statements on the first day of 1403.

The occupied territory of the American weapons depot

The Zionist regime has benefited more from American military aid than any other actor since World War II. According to the available statistics, although Tel Aviv imports significant weapons from England, Italy, Canada and Germany, 92% of what the Zionist regime imports from the United States. A matter that “William Hartung”, an American writer and analyst, recently acknowledged in a note he published on the “Nation” website and wrote: “Israel’s arsenal and its weapons industry are mainly built in the United States and financed by the United States. .”

Therefore, since 1948 and the formation of the fake Zionist regime, the United States has been the largest provider of foreign aid to the regime, and during this period, it provided 3.8 billion dollars of military aid to Tel Aviv annually. He is also the biggest supporter of the Zionists during the Gaza war. This flood of American financial aid and weapons caused unimaginable crimes to happen in this geographical area.

Not long ago, on the 82nd day of the Gaza war, the website of the Zionist newspaper “Yediot Aharanot” published a note about the US military aid to Tel Aviv, the amount of this aid since He assessed the 1973 war as “unprecedented and at the highest level”.

In the first days of the war against Gaza, America allocated military aid in the amount of 14.3 billion dollars to support the Zionist regime; An aid of which four billion dollars was allocated for the regime’s “Iron Dome” and “David Sling” air defense systems and 1.2 billion dollars for the “Iron Beam” air defense system.

In this regard, after a long time of disagreement between the two spectrums of Democrats and Republicans in the Congress, this country’s aid worth 95 billion dollars was recently closed to support the Zionist regime, Ukraine and Taiwan was approved.

In the 6-month period of the Gaza war, American-made weapons have been widely used by the Zionist regime army in this geographical area, although it is not clear exactly. When were the weapons purchased or delivered? According to experts, many of the weapons used in Gaza include 450 or 900 kg bombs such as Mark 84 bombs.

In March, the Biden administration authorized the transfer of 1,800 900 kg bombs and 500 225 kg Mark 84 bombs. The sale of these bombs was approved by Congress several years ago, but their delivery was not realized until last month.

American officials have recently told the “Washington Post” newspaper that the State Department has authorized the delivery of 25 jets and F-35 fighter engines.

Since the early 1990s, the United States has had a weapons warehouse in the occupied territories called “War Stockpiles for Allies-Israel”.

After the start of the Ukraine crisis in February 2022, the US military withdrew quantities of 155 mm shells from this stockpile to send to US stockpiles in Europe. However, after the Al-Aqsa storm, US military officials told reporters in late October that many of these shells sent to Europe were returned to the Israeli forces.

Another important and noteworthy point is that, based on a report in the middle of March by the Wall Street Journal, the Biden administration has secretly transferred more than 100 weapons to the Zionist regime since October 7.

In this report, the Wall Street Journal quoted American officials and wrote: The administration of American President Biden has organized more than 100 arms transfers to Israel, but only officially informed Congress of two shipments. done under the process of foreign arms sales that are usually submitted to lawmakers for review and then publicly disclosed.

This report added: In both cases, the government used an emergency law that avoids the review process. The rest of the transfers are approved using less public mechanisms available to the White House. According to current and former U.S. officials, these include withdrawing U.S. stockpiles, expediting previously approved deliveries, and sending weapons in smaller batches below the spending threshold that requires the administration to notify Congress.

According to the Arms Export Control Act (AECA), the US President must give 30 calendar days before the administration can take final steps to end military sales, including major defense equipment, to governments. take a foreigner, officially inform the Congress.

Persons with knowledge told The Washington Post that among the weapons secretly sold to Congress were guided munitions, small-caliber bombs, and rock-crushing rockets.

US disruption in the UN Security Council

America, which is setting fire to the Zionist regime in the field by sending all kinds of deadly weapons, has always been a serious obstacle to the establishment of a ceasefire in the Security Council.

So far, America has vetoed three draft resolutions of the Security Council regarding the establishment of a ceasefire in Gaza. On the other hand, Russia and China have vetoed the draft resolution proposed by the US on Gaza twice so far; Resolutions that were only focused on Hebrew-Western interests.

The third time when America vetoed the draft resolution proposed by Algeria was on February 20, 2024 (March 1, 1402). This resolution won 13 positive votes of the 15-member Security Council, but the representative of the United States, by opposing it, caused it not to be approved or vetoed the resolution. England, another member of the Security Council, also abstained.

The strategic communications coordinator of the White House National Security Council in justifying the US opposition and veto in the UN Security Council for the third time with the resolution proposed to establish an immediate ceasefire in Gaza, claims This resolution endangers the ongoing “sensitive negotiations” with Hamas regarding the release of the “hostages”!

Finally, the United Nations Security Council on Monday, March 25 (April 6) called for an immediate ceasefire between the Zionist regime and Hamas during the holy month of Ramadan and a quick and unconditional release. And the condition of all prisoners; A resolution whose draft was proposed by 10 member countries of the Security Council.

This resolution won the abstention vote of the United States and the positive vote of 14 members of this council, thus the first ceasefire resolution since the beginning of the current war in the Gaza strip was approved. receipt.

The United States abstained from the recent Security Council resolution because there was no mention of a “stable and permanent ceasefire” and an “immediate ceasefire” was emphasized. . This resolution has not been implemented by the Zionist regime and even Netanyahu canceled the planned trip of himself and his accompanying delegation to Washington in protest of the US representative’s abstention vote.

The bitter humor of the story goes back to the strange positions of the White House officials in the field of implementing the resolution. “Matthew Miller”, the spokesman of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of this country, after the approval of the resolution establishing an immediate ceasefire and the anger of the Zionist regime, while all actors, including the European Union, demand the immediate implementation of the resolution, claimed that “this resolution is not binding.”
