The State Department is set to approve the Foreign Military Financing as it is calling on Israel to investigate soldiers accused of brutally raping a Palestinian.
The State Department is set to release $ 3.5 billion in Foreign Military Financing to Israel. The massive transfer of funds comes as the White House is asking Israel to investigate claims of rape in its detention centers for Palestinians.
CNN reported speaking with multiple officials who confirmed the funds will be released. The money was allocated by Congress in the $95 billion foreign military aid bill that included $61 billion for Ukraine and $14 billion for Israel.
Foreign Military Financing (FMF) is a State Department program that gives US taxpayer dollars to foreign governments to purchase weapons from American arms dealers. However, Tel Aviv is allowed to use some of the FMF funds on Israeli-made weapons.
As the funds are used to contract with arms deals, the weapons are typically not delivered immediately.
Israel is heavily dependent on the US to arm its military, giving Washington significant leverage over Tel Aviv. Over the ten-month Israeli onslaught in Gaza, the White House has resisted domestic pressure to condition arm sales to Israel.

This declining support for Israel in the US, especially amongst Biden’s democratic base, is driving factor behind the dynamic which I have simply come to think of as Biden and the Biden administration paying “lip service”, softly rebuking and condemning Netanyahu with rhetoric while continuing to enable and support him materially and funneling more weapons and money to Israel. This will be expanded on in the next article of this series, which will shift focus from Oct 7th, to the genocidal actions and intent since Oct 7th, Israel’s war on the UN, and the geopolitical dynamics and consequences of this “war".
