US legislators want an investigation into Israel's military funding.

April 15, 2023



(RT)

A group of 14 top Democratic members of the US Congress has penned an open letter to President Joe Biden, urging him to re-examine Washington’s enduring support of Israel. The letter called for a probe into whether US weapons were used in violence against Palestinians, and for assurances that “US taxpayer funds do not support projects in illegal settlements.” The letter also blasted the controversial judicial reform being undertaken by the Netanyahu government, which was shelved after weeks of violent unrest in the country. The lawmakers also urged Biden to tighten “end-use monitoring and financial tracking” of military aid to the country, asking him to respond with a “detailed plan” on how the administration would plan to achieve such goals.
