The White House will sell weapons to Israel in the amount of $ 735 million amid the escalation of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict.
The administration of US President Joe Biden has approved the sale of precision weapons to Israel in the amount of $ 735 million. It is reported by The Washington Post with reference to their sources.
The publication claims that the US Congress received the notification on May 5, that is, a few days before Hamas launched the first missiles at Israel.
Meanwhile, US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken said the US is working to resolve the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. According to Blinken, Israel has a right to protection, but the authorities must do everything to avoid civilian casualties.
“The US continues to be concerned about the escalation of violence. Hundreds of people have died or been injured, including children. We are also concerned that journalists and health workers are in danger. Palestinians and Israelis, like people around the world, have the right to live in safety. And this is not a privilege of Israelis or Palestinians, it is about human rights, so the violence must stop. We are actively working behind the scenes to try to resolve this conflict, “said the US Secretary of State.
He called on Hamas to immediately stop rocket attacks and asked both parties to the conflict to ensure the protection of civilians, especially children.
Let’s remind, for a week 3,150 rockets fired across Israel… Last night, the number of rockets fired by radicals into Israel has decreased. IDF bombs houses of Hamas leaders.
