PNN – Democratic Senator Tim Kaine criticized the actions of the Joe Biden government in sending military equipment to Israel without restrictions and considered it contrary to the public and domestic and international opinion of the United States.
According to Pakistan News Network from the Guardian newspaper, this senator from the state of Virginia criticized the President of the United States for sending unlimited ammunition to Israel. He also emphasized that this should be done under the supervision of Congress.
In this regard, Kane added: As the Congress has an important role in all matters related to war and peace, it should have full supervision over the sending of weapons to other countries.
This democratic senator then criticized the Biden government for bypassing Congress in sending ammunition to Israel and said: This means hiding from the American people and the government should give the necessary explanation to the public.

The US Defense Security Cooperation Agency announced on Friday that Secretary of State Anthony Blinken has approved the sale of 155 mm rounds and related equipment worth $147.5 million.
In this statement, it is stated that Blinken, explaining this to the Congress, stated that the situation was an emergency and the immediate sale of this military equipment to the Israeli government should be carried out quickly. Blinken continued: This sale is in line with US national security interests and therefore exempt from congressional scrutiny under arms export control laws.
Kane continued to criticize the government and added: The policy of transferring military equipment to Israel, including the $14.3 billion package announced in November, which Biden called an “unprecedented support package for the defense of Israel,” is at odds with domestic and international American public opinion.
On the other hand, at the same time as the Zionist regime’s brutal attacks on Gaza continued, South Africa filed a case in the International Court of Justice (ICJ) and announced that Israel’s war in Gaza is a violation of the 1948 Genocide Convention. This case accuses Israel of engaging in genocide against the Palestinian people in Gaza.
The Relief and Employment Agency for Palestinian Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) also announced in this context that Israeli soldiers fired at a UN aid convoy returning from northern Gaza. Martin Griffiths, the head of humanitarian affairs of the United Nations, condemned this action as illegal.
