On Monday, delegates at the Democratic National Convention voted to adopt the partys new 2024 platform, which vows ironclad support for Israel amid its US-backed genocidal war in Gaza.
President Biden and Vice President Harris believe a strong, secure, and democratic Israel is vital to the interests of the United States, the platform reads. Their commitment to Israels security, its qualitative military edge, its right to defend itself, and the 2016 Memorandum of Understanding is ironclad.
The 2016 Memorandum of Understanding is an agreement reached under the Obama administration that committed the US to providing Israel with $3.8 billion in military aid each year from 2019 to 2028.
