According to the Washington Post on Wednesday, March 6, the United States made more than 100 weapons supplies to Israel after October 7 last year. These deliveries have not been announced in public.
According to the sources of the publication, high -precision bombs, small caliber bombs, anti -bunny, small arms and other deadly weapons were transmitted as part of these deliveries. It is assumed that only two of these help packages were reported earlier: the first-the supply of tank shells worth $ 106 million, and the second-components for the production of 155 mm projectiles worth $ 147.5 million. The decision on these deliveries was made by the US administration without the need to obtain the consent of Congress, referring to the emergency.
In the case of other assistance packages, their implementation took place without public debate due to the fact that the cost of each delivery under the Foreign Military Sales (FMS) program (FMS) was lower than the amount that requires the consent of Congress from the executive.
The article states that the information about these deliveries was provided by officials of the Presidential Administration Biden during a closed briefing for Congress members. In addition, the high -ranking representative of the State Department refused to name the total number and cost of all weapons transferred to Israel during a conversation with the editorial board.
