On Tuesday, the State Department approved a series of potential weapons sales to Israel worth over $20 billion that includes F-15 fighter jets and tank munitions. The approval comes as Israeli airstrikes continue to slaughter civilians in Gaza, including newborn twins who were killed hours before the State Department announced the new support for Israel.
In total, the US announced five new arms deals for Israel. The biggest is for 50 F-15 fighter jets and related equipment, worth $18.8 billion. Israel will also receive $102.5 million in advanced air-to-air missiles, about 33,000 120mm tank cartridges worth $774 million, 50,000 high- explosive 120mm mortar rounds worth $61.1 million, and $583.1 million worth of medium tactical vehicles.
It’s unclear how much of the massive weapons sale will be funded by US military aid. The announcement came a few days after the State Department said it was releasing $3.5 billion in military assistance for Israel in the form of Foreign Military Financing, a program that gives foreign governments money to buy US weapons.

$23,454.55 each.
That's kinda pricey.

$20 billion comes to just over $2000 for every man, woman and child in Israel.
They own the USA. Netanyahu knows it.

I can't imagine there are that many targets left in Gaza. Probably going to have to used them in West Bank, Lebanon, Jordan, Ohio...
