US House Approves to Provide $1 Billion for “Israel’s” Iron Dome
The US House of Representatives voted overwhelmingly on Thursday to give $1 billion to Israel for its Iron Dome missile-defense system, two days after objections from the most liberal Democrats forced leaders to remove it from a broader spending bill.
Before the session, Democrat lawmakers had objected to a provision in the stopgap spending bill, which prevented aid to “Israel,” thus obstructing it from replenishing its Iron Dome missile-defense system.
On more than occasion, the Biden administration has pledged to supply ammunition to Israel’s Iron Dome.
During the Seif al-Quds Battle, the Palestinian Resistance hit Israeli posts with more than 5,000 missiles during 11 days and greatly exhausted the Iron Dome system. The Israeli Yedioth Ahronoth revealed that “Israel” has consequently asked the United States for emergency assistance of $1 billion to replenish its stockpile of interceptors following the war.
US President Joe Biden’s administration had approved a $735 million arms deal with “Israel” in the wake of the war on Gaza. The bulk of the deal consists of Joint Direct Attack Munitions (JDAMS), which are kits that convert the so-called “dumb” unguided bombs into precision-guided munition.
