The law provides $3.3 billion (€2.83 billion) in military aid to Israel, links Palestinian aid to U.S. standards, and prohibits investigations by the International Criminal Court into Israel.
This is a clear example of how the USA has been involved in the genocide in Gaza from the very beginning, while Israel, backed by American military and intelligence power, attacks Syria, Lebanon, and Iran. Donald Trump himself stated that “Israel would not be able to exist for even two days without American help,” which clearly shows who stands behind Israel and who keeps it alive. Therefore, every Israeli attack is essentially an American attack on Muslim countries.
The U.S. Senate and House of Representatives have released the text of a spending package consisting of two bills that includes $3.3 billion (€2.83 billion) in military aid to Israel and imposes new restrictions on aid to Palestinians in the occupied West Bank and Gaza.
The National Security and State Department bill allocates $6.77 billion (€5.81 billion) for the State Department’s Foreign Military Financing (FMF) program, including at least $3.3 billion in grants for Israel, which would be disbursed within 30 days of enactment and used for advanced weapons systems.
According to the bill’s text, U.S. security assistance to the West Bank and Gaza will be blocked unless the Secretary of State certifies to Congress that the Palestinians meet U.S.-set standards and are taking steps to end alleged “torture” and other abuses by Palestinian security forces.
The bill blocks such aid if the Palestinians initiate or actively support investigations at the International Criminal Court (ICC) against Israeli nationals for alleged crimes against Palestinians.
It also includes a separate restriction prohibiting funds allocated under the “National Security Investment Programs” heading from being made available to assist the Palestinian Authority if the Palestinians obtain “the same status as UN member states or full membership as a state” at the United Nations outside of a negotiated agreement with Israel.
The approximately $3.3 billion in annual military aid to Israel is part of a ten-year Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) worth $38 billion (€32.59 billion), signed in 2016 and set to expire in 2028.
Axios reported in November that Israel is seeking a new 20-year agreement that could include joint U.S.-Israeli research and development of defense technologies.
The USA is fully protecting Israel from prosecution for genocide in Gaza before the International Court, which is a true example of “American democracy” and their numerous lies about human rights. According to the USA, only Jews have the right to life, freedom, and justice, while these same rights are denied and forbidden to Palestinians — and to other Muslim peoples as well. Donald Trump truly deserves a Nobel Prize, but not for peace — rather for racism, hatred toward Muslims, and for being the greatest supporter of the killing of Muslim people.
