YouTube Description
as posted by the channelSupport our work
While the Biden administration has been publicly voicing reservations over the mounting death toll in Gaza, a Washington Post investigation revealed the administration has quietly approved and delivered more than 100 separate weapons sales to Israel over the last five months.
Former State Department official Josh Paul, who worked on arms deals and resigned in protest of a push to increase arms sales to Israel amid its assault on Gaza, describes the "production line"-style sale of weapons to Israel.
Only two approved foreign military sales to Israel have been made public since the launch of Israel's assault on October 7, which the Biden administration approved using emergency authority to bypass Congress.
