Here we have a second report claiming that the United States is delaying weapons shipments to Israel. The first one was sourced entirely from Jews and anonymous Israeli sources. This one cites anonymous American officials and was published by the Wall Street Journal.
RT:
The US has stalled the delivery of thousands of bomb-guidance kits to Israel since January, anonymous American officials told the Wall Street Journal on Monday. The White House has not explained whether it is deliberately withholding the weapons, reportedly leaving the Israeli government puzzled by the delay.
Congress first learned in January that the State Department intended to sell Israel up to 6,500 Joint Direct Attack Munitions (JDAM), in a deal worth as much as $260 million, the newspaper’s sources said. JDAM kits bolt to conventional 500 to 2,000-pound bombs, allowing these ‘dumb’ munitions to be guided toward their targets as they fall.
The US State Department is required by law to formally notify Congress of its intent to supply arms to foreign countries if the value of the package exceeds a certain amount ($25 million in the case of NATO members or Israel). However, Congress was never informed of the JDAM sale after January, “triggering an effective pause in the deal,” the Journal reported.
The State Department declined to comment on the apparent holdup. White House National Security Council spokesman John Kirby refused to confirm or deny any pause in arms deliveries during a briefing on Monday, but insisted that American security commitments to Israel “are ironclad.”
I have hard time believing these reports considering that Bibi went into Rafah last night. If there was any significant decline in support he wouldn’t have greenlit the operation.
This information was likely planted in the media to give people the false impression that the US is not supporting what’s going on in Rafah when they are definitely supporting it. The US could theoretically end this tomorrow by ending all weapons shipments and putting sanctions on Israel but that doesn’t happen because of bullshit lies about these Satanic kikes being our greatest ally or whatever.
Regardless of what you think about these stories, the US has facilitated everything that has gone on in Gaza. Nothing has substantively changed in this regard.
