The Zionist regime demanded immediate $ 1 billion in US aid.
The Hebrew media revealed that after the recent defeat in the Gaza war, the Zionist regime will ask the United States for $ 1 billion in “emergency” assistance (Aid) with the aim of modernizing the “Iron Dome” system.
The Hebrew-language channel Kun reported on Tuesday night that Israeli War Minister Benny Gantz will convey this request to Tel Aviv during his planned visit to Washington on Wednesday.
He is scheduled to meet with Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin and National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan.
The network quoted an unnamed source as saying that there was talk of a re-inventory of Tamer interceptor missiles used by the Israeli army against medium- and short-range missiles.
The Israeli army used a large number of interceptor missiles in the Iron Dome system during the 11-day war in Gaza.
On May 19, two days before the end of the invasion of Gaza, Gantz said that the Iron Dome intercepted 1,000 rockets fired from Gaza. According to the Globes economic website, the price of each Tamer missile is at least $ 50,000.
Confirming this, Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham confirmed that on Thursday, Israel would request $ 1 billion in immediate military aid (Assistance) from the United States.
The request comes just two weeks after US President Joe Biden’s administration approved the sale of $ 735 million worth of weapons to Israel.
Graham, who has traveled to the occupied territories, said he would make sure Israel received the money requested.
He claimed that US military aid to Israel was “the best investment” for the American people!
The Republican senator has previously said that Israel is the “eye and ear” of the United States.
