U.S. MILITARY AID TO ISRAEL: RUBIO SPEEDS UP DELIVERY OF $4B PACKAGE

The follow-up of $4 billion U.S. military aid to Israel was hastened by the U.S. Secretary of State, Marco Rubio.

Rubio signed the declaration to speed up the process of delivering the quality of the aid to Israel, as the U.S. commitment to Israel is evident and will continue to support the alliances in the long run. The actions were made to aid and support the Israelites in the conflict with the Palestinians.

Funding of U.S. Military Aid to Israel

The Trump administration approved over $4 billion in assistance to Israel military aid. The decision was made due to banning selling weapons to certain countries during the Biden administration.

With the funding of Trump's administration, the alliance between the United States and Israel was strengthened since the financing of military weapons and support of the U.S. to Israel military aid is very needed by their alliance following the ongoing war between Israel and Hamas in Gaza.

In the support assistance expedited by U.S. Secretary State Marco Rubio, he would use special emergency authority to make the delivery of Israel's military aid faster as the war is very fragile and their alliance with Israel needs their assistance as soon as possible.

By funding the U.S. military aid to Israel in faster action, Israel will have a significant advantage in defense and offense of the ongoing war with Hamas.

How Does the Aid Help Israeli Military?

Israel is the leading buyer of the United States of America when it comes to acquiring weapons in traditional arms sales. The U.S. is the leading supplier of weapons to Israel, whether military-armed weapons or more innovative ones.

The relationship between the U.S. and Israel gave importance to supporting one another. Since the funding provides aid for the military of Israel and support for the assistance of weapons, Israel's hopes to fight a war with Palestine become formidable as they have the U.S. as their backer.

Although the United States and Israel don't have a mutual defense treaty like Japan and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, the U.S. has enlisted Israel as the number one non-major NATO ally, giving it the privilege and advantage of access to the most advanced U.S. weapons and technologies.

The U.S. military aid to Israel and its impact gave support to the Israelites physically and mentally, not worrying much about losing in the war and conflict with Hamas.

Israel's Conflict with Palestine

On October 27, 2023, Hamas started the terrorist attack on Israel, which killed almost 1,200 Israelites, and with the hostage of 250. Although the conflict between the two countries intensified, Israel's offensive action made a significant impact by killing more than 48,000 Palestinians.

However, due to a never-ending war between Israel and Palestinians on January 19, Israel-Hamas has an agreement of a ceasefire. A ceasefire agreement to pause the war and decide by both parties if communication to resolve the conflict will be possible.

The agreement made an eye for both parties and resulted in the release of thirty-three Israeli hostages and 2,000 Palestinian prisoners held by Israel. Since the ceasefire is about to end, Palestine's proposal was to have a temporary ceasefire for the second-period phase, which was agreed upon by Israel.

Considering that there were still conflicts between both countries during the proposal and agreement of the temporary ceasefire, Israel and Palestine accused each other of breaking the agreement to follow the truce, which may affect the future resolution of the conflict.

U.S. Commitment to Israel's Security

According to the Trump Administration, to uphold America's longstanding commitment to Israel's security, they keep using all of their resources, including ways to combat security threats.

With the strong commitment of the United States to Israel's military aid and security, the support continues pouring from the sales of weapons and the funding for the assistance of Israel. The support of the U.S. made a significant contribution to the aid of Israel to be strong amidst the ongoing war with Hamas.

The approval of the Pentagon for the sale of over 3 billion dollars, including the weapons that they will provide for Israel, gives a significant contribution to their offense and defense that will keep them at peace during the war between the Hamas.

The U.S. proves that with their commitment to Israel, their alliance will grow and foster to help one another during the hard times.
