US Sends Special Envoy, More Weapons to Shore Up Ceasefire
The New Arab reports JD Vance is headed to Israel to 'shore up a Gaza ceasefire' after a weekend flare-up. One might wonder if 'shoring up' now includes approving yet another arms package. Just recently, the Biden administration expedited over $10 billion in weapons to Israel , even bypassing Congress for some sales. It's an interesting strategy: send the diplomat to talk peace while
simultaneously sending the artillery. This particular 'peace effort' follows a familiar script. American politicians, like Vance, frequently pilgrimage to Tel Aviv. Vance himself, according to OpenSecrets.org, received significant campaign contributions from pro-Israel PACs. It's almost as if the 'ceasefire' efforts are just elaborate photo ops preceding the next invoice for US taxpayers, footing
the bill for the very ammunition deployed in the 'flare-ups' they claim to be quashing.
