    U.S. Plans $6 Billion in New Arms Sales to Israel
    The large weapons transfers come after Israel’s airstrike in Qatar and need congressional approval

    https://www.wsj.com/world/middle-ea...0?st=UhuuPx&reflink=desktopwebshare_permalink

    excerpt:

    The Trump administration is seeking congressional approval to sell nearly $6 billion in weapons to Israel, people familiar with the request said, moving forward despite Israel’s missile strike on Hamas in Qatar and intensifying offensive in Gaza City, which have drawn strong condemnation in Europe and the region.

    The proposed sales include a deal worth $3.8 billion for 30 AH-64 Apache helicopters that would nearly double Israel’s current fleet of the aircraft. The administration is also seeking approval for a $1.9 billion deal for 3,250 infantry assault vehicles for the Israeli army, according to documents reviewed by The Wall Street Journal and one of the people familiar with the request.

    The weapons likely wouldn’t be delivered for two to three years, that person said.

    The arms would be paid for by U.S.-provided foreign military financing, according to the documents. Israel buys most of its American-made weapons using U.S. taxpayer money that comes via billions of dollars in annual military aid.

    At this stage, the State Department is seeking the approval of the four top Republican and Democratic leaders of the House Foreign Affairs Committee and the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, the people familiar with the request said. The leaders of the two panels usually must sign off on major foreign weapons deals before the administration sends wider notification to Congress and the public.

    The proposed arms sales were first sent to congressional leaders about a month ago, before Israel’s Sept. 9 strike on Hamas leaders in Qatar, a Gulf ally that hosts the largest American military presence in the Middle East.

    The administration has continued to seek approval for the sales since the Israeli attack, the people said.

    U.K., Canada and Australia formally recognize a Palestinian state, breaking with the U.S

    Free Palestine is not just a slogan

    Of course that Greta Dumberg chick can't tell the difference between an Israeli and Palestinian

    NONE OF THE WOKE PEOPLE CAN. It's like they think Guyana is in Africa and any dude who looks like Michael Finley is a doctor and should make $300K for being a superintendent to an all white school district
