US Administration’s Support of Israel and Arms Sales Under Fire: Biden Feels Pressure

The Biden administration is feeling the pressure

Meanwhile, US President Joe Biden’s administration continues to support Israel when it comes to arms sales. The US State Department continues to sell nearly 14,000 rounds of armor-piercing ammunition to Israel, bypassing the US Congressional review process normally required for arms sales to other countries. According to a statement released on Saturday, the ministry is citing an urgency clause in the Arms Export Control Act. “In the interests of US national security” it is necessary to immediately sell ammunition to Israel for more than 106 million dollars (approximately 98.4 million euros).

According to a report by the Washington Post, the Biden administration has been increasingly criticized – even among US Democrats – for its heavy weapons supply and its apparent failure to effectively assess and prevent violations of humanitarian aid rules. According to the Hamas-controlled Ministry of Health, 17,700 people have been killed in Israeli attacks in the Gaza Strip. These figures from the Ministry of Health are currently unverifiable, but are generally considered realistic by some aid organisations.

The war was caused by the heaviest massacre in Israel’s history, which was carried out by the terrorists of Hamas and other extremist groups on October 7 in Israel near the border with the Gaza Strip. More than 1,200 people were killed. Images of the brutal massacre traveled around the world. According to the Israeli army, 138 hostages are still being held by Hamas and other extremist groups in the Gaza Strip.
