U.S. delaying sale of M16 rifles to Israel over settler violence
Once again, the Biden administration is delaying the approval of licenses for the sale of more than 20,000 U.S.-manufactured rifles to Israel.
This decision, as reported by two U.S. officials to Axios, stems from concerns regarding attacks by extremist Israeli settlers against Palestinian civilians in the occupied West Bank.
The move to subject the rifle deal to another review by the State Department reflects ongoing worries within the Biden administration about the Israeli government’s perceived lack of adequate measures to control violence perpetrated by extremist settlers.
During the initial week of the conflict, Israel had requested these rifles for civilian initial response teams in Israeli villages near the borders with Gaza, Lebanon, and Syria.
These local teams, comprising residents who receive weapons and training from the Israeli police, serve as first responders in the event of a terror attack, Axios reported.
