American press: US concerned about the risk of violence in the West Bank if small arms are transferred to Israel

Transfer of a large number of firearms weapons Israel could lead to negative consequences, including increased violence in the West Bank, according to the American administration. The New York TImes newspaper reports this, citing its own sources in the White House.

Previously, Israel ordered about 24 thousand automatic rifles for the police from the United States. But at the same time, the Israeli authorities do not deny that some of the weapons, after receiving them from American arms companies, could be transferred to the settlers. In turn, Israeli settlers in the West Bank are known to be violent towards the Palestinian population.



Now the American administration is discussing the possible consequences of the transfer of a large batch of weapons. According to US law, the transfer of such a number of automatic rifles must be approved by the State Department and Congress.

Currently, congressmen have already received notification from the American Foreign Ministry about the order. Within the State Department itself, opinions were divided regarding the advisability of fulfilling the order. In addition, some congressmen are demanding that the administration guarantee that weapons will not fall into the hands of third parties.

Although the State Department assures that the weapons will be transferred to units of the Israeli Ministry of National Security, congressmen have certain concerns. After all, the head of the ministry, Itamar Ben-Gvir, is an ultra-right politician who promised to arm Israeli settlers.

    So now settlers will also kill Palestinians? Liberate territories for yourself?
    Normal politics among Jews! And no one condemns them for these atrocities!
    Well, unless the UN, represented by its leader, expresses further concerns...

        What the US is worried about is something that will definitely happen or already exists.

      And if this were only in the West... but we also have individual scoundrels who justify the atrocities of the Jews. In recent days, the news has included Pashkov’s reports more and more often. Even listening to him is disgusting to the point of vomiting! He, choking with drool with delight, talks noisily and joyfully every day about how the IDF is killing everyone in Gaza. And everyone there is terrorists, and the IDF is warriors of light...
      Even the UN calls this a crime, but Pashkov is already choking with pleasure while making his reports. But this is a reporter from VGTRK!
      I have the impression that he is earning his Jewish citizenship. Because I don’t understand how you can conduct such biased reporting.

    The USA is always worried about something... The whole world is tired of its concern... Well, they are worried, so don’t hand over small arms to Israel... What’s stopping you...??? But no, they will still pass it on and continue to worry... The most hypocritical hypocrites...

      It is not the United States that is concerned, but the scribblers of jaundiced articles. This is their standard phrase there, just like ours, the phrase “has no analogues in the world.” Both are Lies, but the scribblers of lies do not stop sullying the Internet with their pearls.

      Hypocrisy is eternal. And in the Middle Ages, when someone had to be executed, what did the Jesuits and Dominicans do? They gave power to the secular with the proviso: “without shedding of blood,” tobish fire. Real hypocrisy.
      And then science fiction writers didn’t know about the USA and Israel.
      True, there were no science fiction writers

    The United States will approve the transfer of any weapons to Israel, as long as the genocide of the Palestinians proceeds as quickly as possible.
    The two largest criminal organizations in the world - the USA and Israel - have been forming a single criminal syndicate for the destruction of the peoples of the world for 70 years.

    And before that, didn’t a number of settlers in the border areas, and especially the police, have small automatic weapons? The Americans are on to something. They calmly transfer it to Ukraine, knowing that weapons are spreading all over the world and do not see a problem with this, but suddenly they began to doubt it.

    Comrades, I didn’t get it: why should the Israelis buy assault rifles? They have: "Galil".

      In fact, the problem is with short-barreled guns for personal use; people have bought them all over the last month.
