In its statement, the US State Department announced that it accepted the sale of arms to the Zionist regime without obtaining the approval of the country's lawmakers, using its legal powers that allow this department to bypass the US Congress on arms sales.

For the second time this month, US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken informed this country's Congressional representatives that the occupation regime used its legal powers to urgently sell to Israel a shipment of weapons worth $147 million, including parts used to make 155 mm bullets. Blinken made a similar decision on December 9, officially agreeing to sell nearly 14,000 tank shells to Israel worth more than $106 million. On the other hand, since the beginning of the war in Gaza, most of the US weapons have been secretly sent to the occupied territories. About a month ago, the Wall Street Journal revealed in an exclusive report that the United States had provided high-powered mortar bombs and tens of thousands of other weapons and artillery shells to aid the Zionist regime in the Gaza war. The new step taken by the Biden administration in the field of arming the Zionist regime shows many problems. First, the USA was an unconditional supporter of Israel even during the Gaza war, when crimes and murders reached their peak, and thousands of Gazans, especially children and women, were martyred and injured as a result of the Zionists' air and ground attacks. However, Washington continues to strengthen Israel's war machine. This attitude of Washington shows that the United States continues to support the Zionist regime under the pretext of defending it in any situation, even when worldwide condemnation of the Zionist regime has increased at an unprecedented rate, especially for its criminal acts amounting to genocide against the Palestinians in Gaza. In addition to giving the Zionists the green light to continue the war in Gaza, he also opposes a ceasefire in this war. The second issue is that Washington poses as defending human rights while selling weapons to Tel Aviv.

In this context, the US State Department continued its statement and claimed that it continues to strongly emphasize that Israel must not only comply with international humanitarian law, but also take all necessary measures to prevent harm to civilians. Meanwhile, senior American officials know better than anyone that Israel knows no limits in its war operations against the Palestinians and that it sees every action as legitimate and acceptable. The Biden government is aware of the scale of crimes against humanity committed by the Zionist regime and is not taking any practical steps to prevent it. The Wall Street Journal writes on this subject: The transfer of hundreds of millions of dollars of ammunition from the USA to Tel Aviv by military transport planes shows the diplomatic difficulties facing the administration of US President Joe Biden. While the United States, on the one hand, urges its main ally in the region to avoid increasing civilian casualties, on the other hand, it is trying to provide Tel Aviv with most of the ammunition with which these operations are carried out. The inaction and passivity of the Biden administration has caused widespread protests in the United States by the country's people, some members of Congress, as well as employees of government institutions such as the Department of State, the Department of Homeland Security, and even White House officials, all of whom demanded that the White House accept Israel's ceasefire in the Gaza war. He demanded effective measures to compel him to do so. However, the Biden government requested a break of at most a few days for the exchange of Palestinian and Zionist prisoners and vetoed the ceasefire proposal, opposing not only the implementation of a permanent ceasefire but also the resolutions presented by many countries in the UN Security Council./
