Israel Acquires 25 Boeing Fighter Jets, Paid For by U.S. as Part of "Aid" Package
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

On Thursday, Israel's military said it had secured 25 next-generation
F-15 fighter jets from Boeing. The $5.2 billion deal is part of a larger
U.S. funding package to Israel approved by Congress and provided by the
Biden-Harris administration. Many Gaza residents fear Donald Trump's
election won't bring an end to the flow of weapons that have laid waste
to much of Gaza.

Walid Abdul Wahab: "Biden sent a lot of weapons, rockets, bombs, you
know. Those weapons helped the Israeli occupation do their disgraceful
acts to the Palestinian people, and the Gazans especially."
