Israeli honor guard soldiers salute during the funeral Israeli reserve Major Dor Zimel in Even Yehuda, Israel, Monday, April 22, 2024. Zimel , 27, died of his wounds after Iran-backed Lebanese militant Hezbollah group fired a volley of rockets and drones on northern Israel on April 17. The attack wounded at least 14 Israeli soldiers, six seriously, the army said. – A former senior U.S.
Blaha's comments echoed those of another State Department official and panel member, Josh Paul. Paul resigned as a director overseeing arms transfers to other countries' militaries in October in protest of the U.S. rushing arms to Israel amid its war in Gaza. Israel historically is the United States' biggest recipient of military aid, and Biden on Wednesday signed legislation for an additional $26 billion in wartime assistance. But Biden has come under growing pressure over that support as Palestinian deaths mount.
Separately, the Biden administration also is expected to disclose by May 8 whether it has verified assurances from Israel that the country is not using U.S. military aid in a way that violates international or human rights law. Both Israel's written assurance and the U.S. verification were mandated by a new presidential national security memo that Biden issued in February.
