Despite Gaza demonstrations, Biden plans to send Israel $8 billion in weaponry

Earlier, we revealed that President Joe Biden’s government intends to offer Israel an additional $8 billion in weaponry sales.

Faced with worldwide criticism, Washington has supported Israel during its assault on Gaza, which has displaced virtually all of its 2.3 million residents, caused a catastrophic hunger crisis, and resulted in genocide claims that Israel denies.

For months, protesters around the world have called for a weapons embargo against Israel, but US policy has largely remained constant. In August, the United States approved a $20 billion sale of fighter jets and other military equipment to Israel.
