@mirseychas: Benjamin Netanyahu blocked the transfer of Iron Dome systems to Ukraine. And the United States had already paid for them. It happened in 2023, when Washington was preparing to send the air defence batteries to help protect Ukrainian civilians from Russian attacks. The initiative was backed by Senator Lindsey Graham. But according to the report, the entire effort was stopped by one man. Benjamin Netanyahu vetoed the transfer. So how was Israel able to block the delivery of American-owned systems? The answer lies in a joint production agreement. It gives Israel final approval over any transfer of the Iron Dome system. That created an unusual situation. The batteries were based in the United States and funded by American taxpayers. But they could not be sent to Ukraine without Israel’s consent. Now the dispute has resurfaced. The House of Representatives has approved a $1.15 trillion defence bill. Critics fear that similar veto power could be extended to other weapons systems. Senator Chris Van Hollen said the arrangement limits US sovereignty and undermines national security. #BreakingNews #USA #Ukraine #Izrael
