US officials have agreed to transfer “billions of dollars worth of fighter jets and bombs” to Israel, despite concerns about the Rafah operation. The Washington Post writes about this on Friday, March 29.
The new weapons packages for Israel contain more than 1,800 MK84 bombs and 500 MK82 bombs, Pentagon and State Department officials said.
Earlier, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that Tel Aviv “has no choice” but to attack Rafah. The politician promised a group of American congressmen that victory in the Gaza Strip and the neutralization of Hamas’s senior leadership are “just a few weeks away.”
This was preceded by reports that Pentagon chief Lloyd Austin treated him very rudely with his Israeli colleague Yoav Gallant, who came to Washington. This happened against the background of a large number of casualties among the civilian population of the Gaza Strip during the Israeli military operation in the enclave.
