Biden Greenlights Secret Arms Deals for Israel

President Biden has reportedly authorized billions of dollars in new arms sales to Israel, including bombs and fighter jets, according to a report from The Washington Post.

The war-torn region continues to witness widespread devastation and casualties, with Israel vowing to extend its offensive to the city of Rafah, where many displaced Palestinians seek refuge.

The new arms packages reportedly include over 1800 bombs, some weighing 2000 pounds, capable of causing significant destruction.

Despite concerns raised by some Democrats, who advocate for conditioning weapons transfers on commitments to limit civilian casualties and ease humanitarian restrictions, the State Department has also approved the transfer of 25 F-35 fighter jets and engines to Israel.

These arms sales come amidst international calls for a ceasefire in Gaza, contradicting the US stance. The Israeli regime’s blockade has exacerbated the humanitarian crisis, with millions of Palestinians facing shortages of fuel, electricity, food, and water. The conflict has already claimed thousands of lives and left tens of thousands injured, highlighting the urgency for diplomatic solutions and humanitarian aid.
