According to Xinhua News Agency, the United States said on the 16th that while participating in the new round of ceasefire negotiations in the Gaza Strip, the United States is preparing to provide Israel with more ammunition to expand the latter's arsenal.
Wall Street**, citing a number of current and former U.S. sources, reported that the U.S. intends to deliver tens of millions of dollars worth of arms to Israel, including MK-82 aerial bombs, KMU-572 joint direct attack munitions and FMU-139 bomb fuses.
According to the report, the United States is conducting an internal evaluation of this, and it will be submitted to the congressional committee that regulates exports. In the process, the content of this military aid may change.
Neither the United States nor Israel responded to the report.
According to Reuters, the United States has twice previously bypassed Congress and provided military aid directly to Israel. The U.S.-made system used by the Israeli military has caused a large number of civilian casualties in the new round of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, and the United States is under pressure for this.
The United States is currently brokering a new ceasefire in the Gaza Strip with Egypt and Qatar. The mediators and Israeli representatives began negotiations in Cairo, the capital of Egypt, on 13 July. The Israeli Prime Minister's Office said on the 14th that no progress had been made in the negotiations.
According to the Associated Press, the Palestinian Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) has set conditions for the release of Israeli detainees, including the end of Israeli military operations, the withdrawal of the Gaza Strip, and the release of a large number of Palestinian detainees, including senior Hamas commanders.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on the 14th that negotiations can only move forward if Hamas abandons these "whimsical demands".
In recent days, Israel has continued to strike at the Gaza Strip, causing a large number of people**. Many countries are concerned that this will cause an even greater humanitarian catastrophe and call for a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip as soon as possible. The latest data released by the health authorities in the Gaza Strip shows that since the outbreak of a new round of Palestinian-Israeli conflict on October 7 last year, Israeli military operations in the Gaza Strip have caused more than 2870,000 people died.
