OREANDA-NEWS Israel has ordered billions of dollars worth of American military equipment in excess of the amount that Washington has pledged to help the country. This follows from a US State Department document reviewed by The Wall Street Journal (WSJ).
According to the document, after 2028, Israel will need about $ 10 billion to pay for outstanding orders for American weapons as of April 1. At the same time, the United States has already promised to provide almost $7 billion in military aid to the country over the next two years. It is unknown how the amount owed has changed since then.
This information appeared after US President Donald Trump announced his intention to stop aid to Israel. According to the WSJ, American and Israeli officials have been discussing the possibility of phasing out military support for several months.
At the same time, it is noted that the statements of the American leader about the termination of aid took Israeli officials by surprise, including some representatives of law enforcement agencies.
Earlier, the Russian president, speaking about the crisis in the Middle East, said that Russia is ready to assist Iran in resolving the situation in the region. Vladimir Putin noted that Moscow is ready to do everything in its power to help resolve the current situation.
