The United States has announced the approval of the sale of more than $7.4bn in bombs, missiles and related equipment to Israel, which has used American-made weapons to devastating effect during the war in Gaza.

The state department has signed off on the sale of $6.75bn in bombs, guidance kits and fuses, in addition to $660m in Hellfire missiles, according to the US Defense Security Cooperation Agency (DSCA).

The proposed sale of the bombs “improves Israel’s capability to meet current and future threats, strengthen its homeland defense, and serves as a deterrent to regional threats”, the DSCA said in a statement.

    None of the votes during this past election would have helped Palestine. That’s the point. You gotta think long term. Dems and Reps suck.

    Our two party, single vote system isn’t working for the people and they want you to believe it is. Control your politicians. Don’t let them control you.

      For the US, sure.

      Letting in the Tangerine Mussolini means there won’t be a Palestine by the end of his term.
