US VP Vance Flies to Israel as Ceasefire 'Fails,' Billions in US Aid Intact
Vance’s visit, framed as a gesture of support amidst a 'faltering' Gaza ceasefire, overlooks the consistent US refusal to leverage its immense financial backing as actual diplomatic pressure. While the media reports on delicate negotiations, they rarely highlight that US aid to Israel hit $3.8 billion annually for the past decade, with a recent supplemental package adding another $14 billion (HR
815). This isn't failing diplomacy; this is unconditional enablement. One might question how seriously Israel takes US calls for 'de-escalation' when the cash flow remains uninterrupted, even as Gaza's infrastructure crumbles. It appears US 'concern' is a rhetorical exercise, perfectly synchronized with sustained military aid. How many 'faltering ceasefires' does it take before we acknowledge the
US isn't a neutral arbiter, but a primary financier?
