The Pentagon has confirmed that Washington greenlit a new $180 million arms deal with Israel—this time involving engines for military vehicles.
In a statement, the Defence Security Cooperation Agency said: “The United States is committed to the security of Israel, and it is vital to US national interests to assist Israel to develop and maintain a strong and ready self-defence capability.”
They added, “This proposed sale is consistent with those objectives.”
This latest move comes as Israel continues to face accusations from UN experts and human rights organisations of committing genocide in Gaza.
