The United States has approved a massive sale of military weapons to Israel, including F-15 fighters, tank shells, and armored personnel carriers. The package is valued at over $20 billion, with F-15 fighters alone costing $19 billion.
The Pentagon emphasized its commitment to Israel’s security, stating that it is crucial for U.S. national interests to support Israel’s defense capabilities. Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant expressed gratitude for the U.S.’s assistance in maintaining Israel’s military superiority in the region.
This sale comes after the U.S. supplied Israel with thousands of bombs and missiles during the Gaza war, highlighting the strong alliance between the two countries. A senior U.S. official revealed that over $6.5 billion worth of weapons have been sent to Israel since October last year.
As tensions in the region continue to rise, this arms deal underscores the close partnership between the U.S. and Israel in ensuring regional security and stability.
