US$6.4 billion: Trump will send weapons to Israel

The eyes of the world are fixed on the ruins of Gaza and the gavel that the United Nations General Assembly is about to sound, but at this juncture, the Trump administration, like nothing else, has thrown out a Gundam 6 billionYou didn’t hear wrong, it was at this time, when the Palestinians couldn’t even find a safe hiding place, that the Americans were sending the latest attack helicopters and thousands of armored vehicles to Israel.

Let's first take a look at what's in this $6.4 billion "gift package".

30 AH-64 Apache attack helicoptersIt’s not a defensive weapon, it’s a low-carrier, called the “Tank Open Tank”, designed to carry out precision strikes and ground support. In Gaza City’s densely populated street battle environment, what Apache means, everyone has a number in their hearts.

and also 3,250 infantry vehicles$1.9 billion, plus $7.5 billion in parts for armored carriers, what are these equipment for? to support the continued advancement of ground forces and the expansion of occupied areas.

To be honest, every piece on this list seems to be tailored for Israeli military operations in Gaza. When the Israeli military announced that it would expand ground operations in Gaza City, the Trump administration’s arms sale plan came up. Oil on fire.

Just as the Israeli army sent thousands of additional soldiers into Gaza City, bringing the total number of combat forces there to close to 70,000, and as more than half of Gaza’s million residents were displaced crying “there is nowhere to escape,” Washington’s arms merchants, apparently, had begun to calculate how much profit the $6.4 billion could bring.

Trump’s Calculator: Time is Everything

What's even more absolute is the time when this arms sale was revealed.

A few days later, world leaders will gather in New York to attend the 80th session of the UN General Assembly, where the UN Security Council will hold a high-level meeting on the issue of Gaza, with France and Saudi Arabia taking the lead and hosting an international conference on September 22 to promote the “Two-State Plan,” when ten countries, including France, Britain and Canada, are expected to officially recognize the Palestinian state.

The world is looking for ways to reduce the warming, and is looking for even a small possibility for peace. but what about the Trump administration? he sent a "greeting" to the peace summit in advance with a $6.4 billion arms contract.

The subtext behind this is simply naked on the face: Despite your meetings, despite your recognition of Palestine, the rules of the Middle East, you must listen to me.

This is an extremely arrogant political gesture and a reflection of Trump’s consistent “trade” style of diplomacy. He doesn’t care about the views of the international community, nor what humanitarian crises are.

On the one hand, he reassured the powerful arms giants behind the Republican Party with this huge order, on the other hand, he demonstrated his strong stance to the pro-Israel lobbying groups and voters in the country and consolidated his political foundation.

At home in the United States, support for Israel, especially within the Republican Party, is often a “political correctness”. Trump is deeply aware of this.

Inner U.S. split: Half of it is flame and half is sea water

Interestingly, just as the Trump administration was preparing to sell arms with a stroke of a pen, the political wind in the United States quietly changed.

Republican full support for Israel and growing concerns among Democrats are in sharp contrast.The day before the news of arms sales came to light, a group of Democratic senators officially proposed First U.S. Senate Resolution to Recognize a Palestinian State

This is no trivial thing. This shows that there is already a powerful force in the highest legislature in the United States that has begun to openly question the government's one-sided pro-Israel policy.

Recently, more than half of the Democratic senators in the Senate voted against further arms sales to Israel.While these votes failed to stop the actions of the Trump administration, the signals have been very clear: American society’s consensus on the issue of Israel is breaking down.

The Wall Street Journal report also confirms this. On the one hand, the Trump administration actively promotes arms sales, and on the other hand, there is increasingly loud opposition on Capitol Hill. This tear makes the Middle East policy of the United States appear particularly contradictory and unstable. The more Trump wants to use tough military means to solve the problem, the more he will arouse a fierce rebound from another faction in China.

This kind of internal friction ultimately consumes the international reputation of the United States itself. How can a country that can't even reach an agreement within itself play the role of a responsible "world policeman"?

For Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu, Trump’s arms sale is nothing more than a life-saving grass.

With the expansion of the fighting in Gaza, Israel is becoming unprecedentedly isolated internationally. European nations are gradually shifting from initial sympathy to criticism and pressure. The Arab world is even more hostile. At the upcoming UN General Assembly, Israel will undoubtedly face a global diplomatic siege.

In this context, the $6.4 billion arms sales of the Trump administration are not just material support, but also a strong political needle, it told Netanyahu: Don't be afraid, even if the whole world is against you, I'm on your side.

This will undoubtedly boost Netanyahu’s government’s hardness, make it more aggressive in military action, and make any negotiations about a ceasefire and peace hopeless.

After all, behind this conflict, has long gone beyond the complaint between the Palestinians. It has become a game of great powers, a stage for the roles of different political forces. and the Gaza Strip of those ordinary people displaced, their homes, their lives, has become the cheapest price in this game.

The Trump administration’s upscale arms sale may be profitable for U.S. arms traders and add some key to his personal political career, but in exchange it will only lead to deeper hatred in the Middle East, more lasting unrest, and the pain that countless families can’t replace.
