CNN: The US will allocate 3.5 billion dollars to buy weapons for Israel
The United States will allocate $3.5 billion to Israel to purchase American weapons and military equipment, and will provide this amount from a pre-agreed additional military aid package. This was reported by CNN citing its sources.
In April 2024, the US Congress voted to allocate more than $20 billion in additional military aid to Israel.
As part of this decision, the United States wants to allocate 3.5 billion dollars to Israel for the purchase of American weapons and military equipment.
The State Department told lawmakers late Thursday that President Joe Biden's administration intends to provide Israel with "billions of dollars" in military funding. Because Israel is preparing for a possible attack by the Hezbollah movement in Iran and Lebanon, the source of the TV channel said.
It was added that Israel can use this money to buy advanced weapons systems and other equipment from the United States as part of the US foreign military financing program.
Israel won't get $3.5 billion worth of American-made weapons right away, but it will destroy systems that are currently being built and won't be delivered for several years.
