During his telephone call with Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, Austin 'urged Minister Gallant to address extremist settler violence against Palestinian civilians and continue the Israeli Ministry of Defense's effort to improve economic opportunities for Palestinians in the West Bank," the Defense Department said in a statement.

Austin also 'called for Palestinian leaders to condemn terrorism and take active steps to prevent violence," and further emphasized the "urgent need for Israeli and Palestinian leaders to take meaningful steps to ensure stability in the West Bank."

Let’s not forget: Israel has taken billions of dollars of American money for decades now, so the purse has strings attached to it. So if Israel is sick of Washington lecturing them, they need to abstain from all American foreign aid.

This is a good precursor for President Trump, they went after Bibi like they went after PT, and the second time, shoved it down their throats. However, the left is trying to make Israel ungovernable. We must prepare for that here, if President Trump beats the steal.

10. Israel seized a complete Soviet SAM 2 operational complex during the 1967 war.

They shared this information with us which resulted in the saving of many American fliers over North Vietnam from death or imprisonment/torture.

You can’t put a price on that.

Trump took this money away and Biden restored it
Austin knows Biden is paying to kill Israelis.

Also, if Israel didn’t get that foreign aid
the US defense industry would suffer loss of
so many orders plants would be shuttered.

And then they shared American nuclear secrets with the USSR and China. How lovely.

Doesn't Austen have a ballerina gig to perform or something? Why is he bothering Israel with its own business?
