The US State Department approved a "Possible Foreign Military Sale" to the Zionist entity, according to a ‘Defense Security Cooperation Agency' press release on Friday.

US Approves $440 Million Arms Sale to ‘Israel’

The DSCA said that the ‘Israeli' government requested to purchase 13 76mm naval guns, as well as a variety of naval maintenance materials and tools, US Government and engineering technical, logistics and support services, operations and maintenance training, and other related supplies and services.

The estimated cost of such a deal is $440 million.


"The United States is committed to the ‘security' of ‘Israel'," said the press release.

"This proposed sale will contribute to the foreign policy and national security of the United States by helping to improve the security of a strategic regional partner that has been, and continues to be, an important force for political stability and economic progress in the Middle East."

In September, ‘Israel' and the US signed an agreement worth $38 billion over 10 years, the largest such pledge in American history, hailed by both parties as a cornerstone of their alliance.

The deal incorporates several budget lines that have previously been negotiated and approved by the United States Congress each year, and requires ‘Israel' to abide by these terms over the course of the next decade, through 2029, without further lobbying of the US legislature for additional funds.
