Donald Trump will approve weapons shipments to Israel that were detained because of Itamar Ben Gvir

A senior US government said yesterday (Friday) that the US President Donald Trump Examining the possibility of sending 24,000 rifles in the state department with the outgoing state of state, Anthony Blinkle. New York Times reported that the deal, estimated at $ 34 million, includes three beats.

According to the report, Blinka ordered the State Department not to continue promoting the request of Israel after members of Democrats Congress expressed concern that the guns could reach settler militias or serve as Israeli police officers in unwarranted violence against Palestinians in the West Bank.

The issue arose after the State Department made an informal notice of the sale of two committees in Congress, a few weeks after the Hamas attack in October 2023. According to a report in New York Times, the order aroused concern among the legislators and some of the state department.

At the same time, Itamar Ben Gvir,Served as a national security minister. Ben Gvir, who supported the expansion of the settlements and the annexation of the Palestinian territories, even stated in October 2023 for his intention to five settlements and establish civilian militias to the settlement protection. Democratic lawmakers expressed concern that police forces under his command would use US weapons to support settlers involved violently against Palestinians.

In response to these concerns, which is responsible for weapons transfer in the State Department, it has made it clear that the weapons will only be transferred to the police supervised units, but did not elaborate on which units.

However, the legislators continued to express concerns before Blinka, who eventually ordered the shipment to delay.

Trump’s move comes against the backdrop of Biden Government policy, which rarely avoids rejecting arms requests from Israel – a policy that has been widely criticized by Democrats in the face of the destruction in Gaza. While President Trump signals even more emphatic support in Israel, Mike Hakby,His candidate in Israel, even stated that the entire West Bank belongs to Israel and that “there is no such thing as Palestinian.”
