U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio is taking action to ensure the speedy delivery of Israel’s military aid, committing to fulfill the United States’ security arrangements with the nation.
“I have signed a declaration to use emergency authorities to expedite the delivery of approximately $4 billion in military assistance to Israel,” Rubio said in a March 1 statement. A partial arms embargo imposed by the Biden administration had “wrongly withheld a number of weapons and ammunition from Israel.” This situation has now been reversed under the Trump administration, according to the statement.
