X-Subject: Biden Admin Delays Aid To Israel By Refusing To Notify Congress: Report

While Israel attempts to rid Gaza of the terrorist group Hamas, which 
massacred over 1,200 people in Israel on October 7, the Biden 
administration has undermined the war effort by refusing to notify 
Congress about military aid intended for Israel, thus blocking the 
delivery of the aid, according to a new report.

Although critics of Israel often cite U.S. military aid to Israel, 
Tablet Magazine noted, “(N)early all military aid to Israel — other 
than loan guarantees, which cost Washington nothing, the U.S. gives 
Israel no other kind of aid — consists of credits that go directly from 
the Pentagon to U.S. weapons manufacturers.”

According to The Wall Street Journal, despite the fact that the State 
Department is required to notify Congress when the U.S. sells arms to 
other countries and the price surpasses certain thresholds, officials 
said the Biden administration has not notified Congress about the 
proposed sale of up to 6,500 “kits that enable unguided bombs to be 
steered to a target,” thus denying Israel the capacity to be more 
precise in its attack and spare civilians in the process.

Additionally, officials said the Biden administration hasn’t notified 
Congress about military aid, including tank ammunition, military 
vehicles and mortar rounds, the Journal reported.

The Biden administration’s campaign to undermine Israel includes a 
report it is expected to deliver this week as to whether the 
administration contends Israel has violated U.S. or international law 
in Gaza. If the Biden administration says Israel has, it could 
jeopardize U.S. aid to Israel in the middle of Israel’s war against 
Hamas.

On April 30, Rep. Michael T. McCaul (R-TX), the Chairman of the House 
Foreign Affairs Committee, and Sen. James Risch (R-ID), the Ranking 
Member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, wrote a letter to 
President Biden slamming his February National Security Memorandum. 
“The timing of its release makes clear that its aim is to placate 
critics of security assistance to our vital ally Israel,” they stated.


They continued:

	NSM-20 plainly was designed to appease critics of Israel. 
	Following the brutal October 7, 2023, terrorist attack on 
	Israel by Hamas – a U.S. designated Foreign Terrorist 
	Organization (FTO) – Israel has been engaged in a campaign to 
	destroy the military and governing capacity of Hamas in Gaza. 
	Israel faces near-daily rocket fire from Hezbollah, another 
	FTO, into its northern territory (where tens of thousands of 
	citizens have been displaced), while Iran and Iranian-backed 
	proxies in Iraq, Syria, and Yemen pose grave threats to 
	Israel. Iran’s unprecedented drone and missile attack on April 
	13, 2024, was only the latest in a long series of aggressive 
	actions that threaten regional stability. The February 2024 
	release date of the NSM, and the subsequent media attention it 
	has generated on Israel alone, make clear that the policy is 
	primarily motivated to placate anti- Israel sentiment at home 
	and abroad.

“We urge you to revoke NSM-20, abide by the robust and vital human 
rights safeguards already codified in U.S. security assistance law, and 
continue to support our critical partners around the world,” they 
concluded.
