According to a report by Israel Hayom, part of the ammunition that the US stored in Israel was sent to Ukraine to aid its war efforts against Russia.
The arms depots belong to the United States Military, are officially intended to be used by them, and are subject to diplomatic immunity. Despite this, there has been an unofficial understanding between the two allies that the depots were placed in Israel to be used in the event that the Jewish state found itself in an emergency situation.
An American source confirmed Israel Hayom's report, telling the paper that it is currently unknown when the supply would be replenished, adding that it would depend on American ammo production rates.
According to a source in the Israeli defense establishment, the White House decided to send the ammunition to another front. With the current threats, the move to reassign the arms is worrying. "These are Israel's wartime arms reserves," explained a former minister.
Former defense establishment officials say President Biden's Middle East policy endangers Israel. The US President's attitude to Saudi Arabia allows Iran to grow its influence and has even opened the door for China to enter the region.
