Washington’s secrecy in providing details of weapons sent to Israel.
This news website wrote in a report: A month has passed since the surprise attack by Hamas, there is little information about the weapons provided by America to Israel. While the Biden administration released a three-page list of weapons provided to Ukraine down to the exact number of ammunition, the information released about the weapons sent to Israel is summarized in one sentence.
White House National Security Council spokesman John Kirby confirmed the cover-up at his October 23 news conference and said: “While US security assistance is on a daily basis, we are careful not to quantify or go into detail about what they are getting.” let’s not Of course, this is for their own operational security purposes.
The argument that Israel’s operational security transparency is compromised is misleading, experts told The Intercept, because somehow that concern didn’t exist for Ukraine.
William Hartung, a fellow at the Quincy Institute for Responsible Government, expressed his opinion: “The notion that providing more information somehow harms the security of Israel’s military operations is a cover story for reducing information about the types of weapons sent and how they are used.”
Hartung believes that the deliberate lack of transparency about what weapons the U.S. provides to Israel on a daily basis, combined with the administration’s broad policy of downplaying the extent to which Israel uses these weapons to commit war crimes and kill civilians in Gaza, is related to.
A retired senior Marine who worked in the area, speaking on condition of anonymity, attributed the cover-up to the political sensitivity of the conflict. In particular, weapons used in urban house-to-house warfare that would likely result in civilian casualties are not something the US government wants to make public, the retired officer said.
This is while the Zionist regime has started a ground operation in Gaza despite internal and international warnings in Gaza, and according to Yoav Gallant, the war minister of this regime, this ground operation will last at least a few months. In the meantime, the Zionist regime receives weapons aid from the United States on a daily basis, and according to reports, the use of some of these weapons in civilian areas is prohibited according to international laws.
