This was reported on November 13 by Defense One. The chief deputy assistant of the US Secretary of State for military-political issues, Stan Brown said that the supply of weapons is always considered by Washington in each case, and Israel is no exception. "I do not want to ahead of arms discussions or what we will do in the future, as it is now. I repeat, our position is that we continue to support," the official said.
According to him, Presidential Administration Joe Baiden does not put any restrictions on the use of Israel in the conflict of American weapons. And even if there are any claims from American defense firms, he knows nothing about it.
Meanwhile, US observers say that some congressmen are concerned about the lack of transparency in the question of what it goes to Israel, as the White House does not disclose the number of weapons and does not provide reports that are usually published in terms of help packages to Ukraine. Brown emphasized that this situation was due to various processes of military assistance. For example, a weapon that goes to Ukraine comes from reserves of the Ministry of Defense.
While the weapon that Israel has, he purchased. "We have been supporting Israel for many years through a foreign military sales program and through our foreign military funding, where we provide Israel about $ 3. 3 billion a year for security in the security industry, as well as $ 500 million a year for air defense," - Brown emphasized. According to the data, the observers write, the Pentagon passed thousands of 155 mm of artillery shells intended for Ukraine.
