It’s not blank cheque. It’s $40B on top of $3-5B annual aid.
Or in other words, enough money to house 100,000 people for 50 years
(Given ~800$ monthly payments)
It’s a bit late for that. The Americans have been giving the Israelis whatever they want for the last 70 years.
Congress allocates. Civics 101.
Executive executes. If they’re not specific with the allocation it’s up to Biden what happens to the money.
Military grant and aid is a bit different. It must be controlled by the President and the secDef. The reason is that they know what is possible for weapons orders. A check never changes hands. Isreal sees no $. It’s just an account that material can be charged to. The military talks with their Israeli counterparts to establish needs and if doable the president releases the requirement charged against the account.
Besides, the author niaevly suggests Bibi is not to be trusted while not recognizing the relationship Biden has had with him through the years. Biden knows exactly who Bibi is.
Incidentally, America doesn’t have a functioning Congress right now.
Fact Check : True
But he will, just like *congress was full of fucking idiots after 911. Two *blank checks to Bush, that even Barbara Lee voted for in the end.
“Must not” in a headline usually means “will.”
