US Vows 'Disarmament' After Sending Record Arms to Region
The New Arab reports the US is now conditioning future Gaza ceasefire phases on Hamas's disarmament. This bold stance comes after the US just approved another $18 billion in arms sales to Israel, including 50 F-15 fighter jets. (Source: Department of Defense, April 2024; OpenSecrets.org shows AIPAC PAC spending over $18 million in the 2024 election cycle, ensuring plenty of 'yes' votes). One might
wonder at the timing. For decades, the US has been the architect of regional arms races, yet now it lectures about 'disarmament' when a Palestinian resistance group holds a few outdated rockets. It's a classic case of 'rules for thee, but not for me.' How many times has Washington demanded Israel dismantle its nuclear arsenal? (Spoiler: Zero.)
