U.S. Approves $20 Billion In Weapons Sales To Israel As Wider War Looms

August 14th, 2024

Via: ZeroHedge:

After already having given over $3 billion in annual foreign aid to America’s number one ally in the Middle East stretching back years, the State Department has approved a series of potential weapons sales to Israel worth over $20 billion. This is the military-industrial complex’s bread and butter: give allies huge amounts of foreign aid, and those dollars eventually return to line the pockets of the big US defense firms.

The sales are expected to include some 50 F-15 fighter jets and tank munitions, advanced air-to-air missiles, tactical vehicles, and on top of all this 50,000 high-explosive 120mm mortar rounds.

    “On Friday, August 9, State Department spokesmen Matthew Miller announced that Secretary of State Antony Blinken had determined that the Government of Israel had “effectively remediated” gross violations of human rights by the IDF’s Netzah Yehuda Battalion. Blinken’s determination, accordingly, renders the unit eligible for U.S. security assistance pursuant to the governing statute, the so-called Leahy law.

    This decision appears directly contrary to the Leahy law.”
