Gallant’s visit came as Israel’s prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, repeated his claim that the Biden administration was presiding over a “dramatic drop” in arms shipments to Israel in recent months, a charge that has angered US officials, who have described it as “perplexing”.
What’s that claim of “dramatic drop” in arms shipments?
In the following article I see a dramatic increase. In the budget at least.
U.S. Aid to Israel in Four Charts - Council on Foreign Relations
Since the start of Israel’s war with Hamas on October 7, 2023, the United States has enacted legislation providing at least $12.5 billion in military aid to Israel, which includes $3.8 billion from a bill in March 2024 (in line with the current MOU) and $8.7 billion from a supplemental appropriations act in April 2024.
Am I missing something or Israel bluntly lying again?
[Edit: Within the link above there is another link and the section with the title “What’s paused”. It looks like Biden paused 1 shipment to my understanding]
Why does Israel need military aid? Let them at least buy the weapons
That’s the neat part, they don’t! They have a huge domestic weapons industry already!
I mean this war is obviously not stopping any time soon. The amount of rocket from hezbolla was enough to turn the border region into no mans land.
It’s not really just one war
