US officials have said that the Trump administration is considering sending 24,000 attack rifles to Israel, published by the State Department under the order of former Secretary of State Antony J. Brinken.
Brinken had called the State Department to move forward with the demands of Israel, which consists of a total of $ 34 million valuable transis. It is a concern that the Democratic Party raised concerns that the rifle could reach the hand of the settler's militia, or that the Israeli police officers would use them in unreasonable violence against the Palestinian on the west coast of the Jordan. It happened after raising.
The Ministry of State did not reply to questions sent by e -mail on Friday about the possibility of ordering. The Israeli embassy earlier said earlier that US officials have addressed the questions raised about weapons sales.
Israel has purchased more than three -quarters of the rifle, which is holding the rifle from Colt's manufacturing industry.
A few weeks when the Ministry of State made an unofficial notification of sales to two parliamentarians a few weeks after the Hamas attack in Israel in October 2023, then ignited a fierce strike by Gaza's Israeli army. Later, after making an unofficial notice to the two parliamentary committees, the members noticed the weapon order. The New York Times reported that the order has been concerned about members of the Diet and some of the Ministry of State officials.
At that time, the far -right Israeli politicians, Itamar Ben Gwill, were the Minister of National Security. He supports the expansion of the village on the west bank of the Jordan and the annexation of the Palestinian territory occupied by Israel. Some Democrats support the use of American weapons to support the settlers engaged in violence against Palestinians who have become increasingly common in recent years, or perform violence. I was worried about.
Ben Gville said in October 2023 that he would give a weapon to the settlers and create a civilian to protect the settlers.
When asked about how the rifle would be used, the official of the State Department said that weapons would only go to the INP control unit, mentioning the Weapons to Israeli National Police. However, Jessica Lewis, which runs a station in charge of relocating weapons, did not define such a unit.
Ben Gville and his party have recently left the government and protested against the new Swap in Israeled Palestine.
In December 2023, the Democratic Party talked about anonymously discussing anonymous weapons orders on an unofficially approved rifle order on conditions for providing an appropriate warranty for use. The authorities stated. Later, the lawmakers continued to express concerns to Brinken.
The Biden administration did not refuse to request weapons from Israel. This is a policy that has led to a wide range of criticisms from the Democratic Party because the Israeli bombing has devastated Gaza. President Trump has shown that he supports Israel more eagerly.
On January 24, the White House told Pentagon that Israel could send a large amount of 2,000 pound bombs to Israel last summer to remind you of Israel's heavy weapons to drop heavy weapons. Ta. I did it anyway. U.S. military officials consider that 2,000 pounds of pounds is so destructive that they cannot be used in city battles.
Mike Hacka Bee, which Trump chose as the next ambassador to Israel, belongs to Israel, all of the west coast of the Jordan River, and says, “There is nothing like Palestinian.”
