Why is the US still sending an endless supply of arms to Israel without conditions? | Michael Schaeffer Omer-Man

The law requires that the US vet any foreign military receiving US arms. However, that doesn't happen with Israel

There is a rare debate taking place in mainstream foreign policy circles, including among congressional Democrats, about whether the United States should condition its military support for Israel in light of the massive civilian casualties it has caused in Gaza. President Biden even said it was a worthwhile thought" last week before the White House clarified he would be doing no such thing. According to a recent report in the Israeli media, however, the Biden administration has begun doing exactly that - putting conditions on continued US support for Israel's war on Gaza.

Antony Blinken, the US secretary of state, joined a meeting of the Israeli war cabinet in Tel Aviv last week, where, according to a report by Israel's Channel 12 News on Sunday, he delivered an ultimatum to the Israeli government. Israel, he said, must begin taking the Palestinian civilian population into consideration in all military operations, reduce to the minimum possible the further displacement of civilians, stop blocking the entry and distribution of humanitarian aid and start designating more safe zones where Palestinian civilians can seek refuge from the non-stop bombardment. The understanding in Israel is that it must do all of that in order to get the continued support it wants from the US," the report added.
