Despite increasing numbers of civilian casualties and transgressions of international law, the US is arming Israel for its operations in the Gaza Strip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In addition to being the most significant political supporter of Tel Aviv, Washington continues to be the Israeli military’s principal source of armaments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As part of a $95 billion package for foreign military assistance, the Congress authorized $17 billion in military aid to Israel in April.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Since a cross-border incident that left 1,200 Palestinians dead, Israel has killed over 38,000 of them. A humanitarian catastrophe has been brought on by the activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The way US President Joe Biden has handled the Gaza assault, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, has disturbed him. However, there hasn’t been a significant cutoff in the flow of weapons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With US authorities verifying a halt in shipments of 2,000-pound bombs, Netanyahu even accused the Biden administration of limiting military aid, citing worries over civilian fatalities in the beleaguered region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Figures leaked to the media, however, indicate that Washington may not have been effective in practice and that its response came too late.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The US shipped at least 14,000 MK-84 bombs\u2014which are used in bomber aircraft\u2014to Israel between October 7 and June 28, along with other munitions, 3,000 precision-guided Hellfire missiles, 1,000 bunker-buster bombs, 2,600 small-caliber bombs dropped from aircraft, and 6,500 227 kg bombs. These official sources spoke to Reuters under the condition of anonymity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Additionally, in May, the Biden administration approved the symbolic one-ton airplane munitions transfer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A confidential document distributed to House Democratic leaders and other Congress members stated that the US military assistance to Israel since October 7 has consisted of less than 1% of the one-ton bomb shipments that have been stopped.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
