The Israeli and American Navies have been very effective preventing the flow of arms into Gaza by sea. Nevertheless Hamas managed to accumulate a huge store of sophisticated weaponery. The US has to face the reality that those arms had to go through Egypt.Egypt of course is heavily subsidized by American taxpayers. They claim to be our ally and claim to be at peace with Israel.

Not saying that you’re wrong, but my theory has been that some organization thought to be ‘friendly’ with the West got them in due to lax controls via some other land or sea route (maybe even in from Israel, who knows) - in other words, the Israelis trusted this organization and allowed them to supply Gaza, virtually without inspection.
My reason for not thinking Egypt is because the government that would definitely have done such - the Neocons-installed Muslim Brotherhood, was overthrown by the Egyptian Military roughly a decade ago. The new leader, Sisi, has been very quiet with regard to Israel, and has treated the 13 Million Christians in Egypt probably better than any leader there since WW2, if not longer. That does not mean he thinks the same of Jews...but it does show that Sisi, a Muslim, is not obsessed with hating non-Muslims.
What happened to the $80,000,000,000 of US Military equipment Biden gave the Taiban?
There is gear to equipment an army right there.
