The law ( the Leahy Law) requires that the US vet any foreign military receiving US arms. However, that doesn’t happen with Israel

Lol people on here talking about the US wanting to genocide Palestinians and in the meantime were actively working to build them an economy for after the war

The main issue is as soon as the Genocide started all talk of aid and economy building went out the window.

Read the article with a critical eye.

The US just wants access to the gas reserves, they don't care who controls it, as long as they'll be aligned with the petro dollar.

Israel will control the reserves after the genocide is over, that's the point. Israel wants access to that revenue stream and bombing Palestinians is a really reliable way to ensure that.
