Rubio Expedites the $4 Billion in Arms to Israel Withheld by Biden
Rubio boasted that the reversal “is yet another sign that Israel has no greater ally in the White House than President Trump.”
Secretary of State Marco Rubio signed a declaration that pushes through $4 billion in military assistance to Israel.
Former President Joe Biden’s administration withheld the aid:
I have signed a declaration to use emergency authorities to expedite the delivery of approximately $4 billion in military assistance to Israel. The decision to reverse the Biden Administration’s partial arms embargo, which wrongly withheld a number of weapons and ammunition from Israel, is yet another sign that Israel has no greater ally in the White House than President Trump.
Since taking office, the Trump Administration has approved nearly $12 billion in major FMS sales to Israel. This important decision coincides with President Trump’s repeal of a Biden-era memorandum which had imposed baseless and politicized conditions on military assistance to Israel at a time when our close ally was fighting a war of survival on multiple fronts against Iran and terror proxies.
The Trump Administration will continue to use all available tools to fulfill America’s long-standing commitment to Israel’s security, including means to counter security threats.
According to Fox News, the shipment has “40,000 defense items, including 35,500 MK 84 and BLU-117 bombs as well as 4,000 Predator warheads worth $2.04 billion.”
However, delivery won’t happen until 2026.
That seems so far away, but can you believe it’s already March?!
In May 2024, Biden threatened Israel to withhold aid if it invaded Rafah.
Biden made the same threat in October, promising to withhold military assistance until Israel allowed aid into Gaza.

Good.
Thank God
Some good news
Hooray.
The fact that Trump was elected President in a landslide was the worst news Iran and Hamas have ever received, particularly in the disgusting and insane beginning of this War. Undoubtedly, the fiends who started this atrocity made book on the demonrats prevailing.
This handshake opens doors for Israel, a country that has been tormented from its’ inception. If Iran and Hamas had a collective brain, they would rush to the table of concessions. Sadly, they won’t, so it will take further well deserved punishments for these colossal idiots to bring anything to the table.
“colossal idiots”
Wicked, demonic, fools.
The Biden administration (whoever that was) desperately attempted to please leftists and Islamists as well as supporters of Israel. It seems as though it used the strategy of lying to both sides. It is almost completely unclear as to what it actually DID.
Ask perplexity.ai “did the biden administration withhold military aid to israel” and weep about the duplicity of the Biden administration and our inability to obtain accurate information.
“However, delivery won’t happen until 2026.”
Does this mean we don’t actually have the items to deliver?
No. Biden gave it all to Ukraine.
There’s a surprising amount of commentary/opinion in Israeli media that the rise of the “extreme right wing” in western civilization’s politics is a danger to Jews everywhere, including Israel. They seem to not understand that the “extreme right wing,” even when no friend of Jews, is their staunchest ally against Muslim extremism and Islamic terror organizations. Indeed, many commenters appear to be progressive dupes who conflate “right wing” with “anti-Semite” when such conclusions are not supported by any evidence. These writers are poisoning the minds of Israelis to create in them a knee-jerk reaction against political forces that they should be leveraging to their advantage rather than opposing.
This is because it is Jewish leftists making the arguments and they are just as pig ignorant as non-Jew leftists 🙄
Because they’ve to some degree bought the propaganda that the ‘extreme right wing’ is the antisemites and racists, when its the exact opposite. The biggest antisemites and slavish Palestine worshippers are the far left.
I’m not going to say that the ‘extreme right wing’ is their biggest supporters, but the right wing acknowledges that Israel continuing to exist is to our mutual benefit.
I will say once again that the right/left dichotomy is utterly false, along with the equally false circular argument that far right and far left end up in the same place..
The truth is there are “believers in personal liberty” on one end of the spectrum and “lovers of the authoritarian state” on the other. It is easy to see where ideologies and individuals fit.
And although we have been conditioned to believe that racism (and concomitant anti-Semitism) are the very worst possible sins, it is the tyrannical lovers of the state who have beaten us with that cudgel, to make the white majority ashamed and compliant.
Keep in mind that the Israeli media is largely the house organ of the extreme left. The discrepancy AFAIK is even more pronounced than in the USA.
