SANA'A January 21. 2024 (Saba) - The US-Zionist aggression against the Gaza Strip has shed light on the US “war reserve stock” present in the Zionist enemy’s entity and the doubts about its actual use in the current aggression launched by the enemy against the Gaza Strip since the seventh of last October.
In this context, many question marks have been raised about the use of this stockpile in the aggression launched by this brutal enemy against the Palestinians since the seventh of October and the possible repercussions of this use.
The US "war reserve stockpile" is a collection of weapons, ammunition, military equipment, and other raw materials that are stored in advance for use when needed, and the United States chooses strategic storage places where it believes they will be needed in the future.
The US Department of Defense (the Pentagon) maintains war reserve stocks in various parts of the world, especially in member states of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), as well as some of Washington’s main non-NATO allies, such as the Zionist enemy entity, under the “Allied War Reserve - Enemy Entity” program ( Israel) (known as "WRSA-I"), and South Korea (under the Allied War Reserve Stockpile-Korea (WRSA-K) programme).
The establishment of the US stockpile in the Zionist enemy entity began in the 1980s for the purpose of providing American forces with supplies quickly if needed in any conflict that might erupt in the future in the Middle East region.
This stockpile has always been surrounded by a shroud of secrecy, as the specific locations of the stores are not known. Not much is known about the quality and numbers of weapons, ammunition, and equipment found there.
Observers believe that it is one of the largest US military reserve stocks in the world and is an easy way for the Zionist entity to obtain it in times of need.
In January of last year, the US Army announced that it would transfer hundreds of thousands of 155 mm artillery shells from the stockpile of the Zionist enemy entity and that located in South Korea to the Ukrainian army.
In an article published by Bloomberg News in the same month entitled “Sending stupid weapons from the Zionist enemy entity to Ukraine is a smart step.”
Any military reserve stock is considered the property of the American government, but the United States allowed the Zionist enemy entity to use weapons from the American stockpile on its territory during the Second Lebanon War that broke out between this entity and Hezbollah in the summer of 2006, as well as during the military operation carried out by the Zionist enemy in the Gaza Strip. Gaza in 2014.
The government of US President Joe Biden approved emergency arms sales to the enemy entity twice during last December, including 155 mm artillery shells, military equipment and vehicles, without waiting for Congressional approval.
The US State Department said in a statement issued late last month: “Given Israel’s urgent defense needs, Secretary Anthony Blinken informed Congress that he exercised his delegated authority and decided that there was an emergency that required immediate approval for the arms transfer.”
Bloomberg reported that it had seen an internal report by the US Ministry of War and that the ministry had already begun shipping weapons and military equipment to the Zionist entity, or was working to ensure their transfer from its warehouses in the United States and Europe.
The agency added, quoting American officials, that the arms shipments include a “reverse flight” of the 57,000 155mm shells that the United States had sent from its reserve stock in the Zionist enemy entity to American military sites in Europe to resupply them with the shells that were sent to Ukraine to assist it in... Its battle with Russia was sent back to the usurping entity for use in its “struggle against the Hamas movement.”
Perhaps anticipating potential criticism of these sales on humanitarian grounds, the US State Department has repeatedly stressed that the enemy entity is not exempt from the US policy which stipulates that any country receiving US weapons must abide by the international laws of war. It “continues to stress to the Zionist government that it must not Not only to abide by international humanitarian law, but also to take every possible step to prevent harm to civilians.”
More than 30 relief organizations had sent a letter to US Secretary of War Lloyd Austin urging him in particular not to send 155 mm shells to the Zionist enemy entity.
He pointed out the great danger these shells represent because they are “unguided and have a large margin of error,” and “ “It usually falls 25 meters away from the intended target,” which makes it extremely dangerous in the Gaza Strip, which is considered one of the most densely populated areas in the world.
The Guardian newspaper, quoting former American officials familiar with the security assistance provided by the United States to the Zionist enemy entity, wrote: The American military reserve stockpile in the usurping entity enables Washington to quickly transfer weapons to the Zionist war forces, and it also “protects American weapons movements from censorship.” Popularity and congressional oversight.
The White House had asked Congress last October to allow it to grant the Zionist enemy entity types of weapons that were previously prohibited from being transferred, as well as to temporarily lift the restrictions imposed on the total value of the weapons reserves in that entity, and to give the Pentagon more flexibility to transfer weapons and ammunition to the usurper entity.
Washington allowed the Zionist enemy entity to withdraw some weapons from the stock and purchase them at reduced prices.
In this regard, some American legislators have expressed their concerns about the White House’s proposals.
A letter sent by five senators, including Senator Elizabeth Warren, said that these proposals “would place additional restrictions on congressional oversight and undermine our ability to monitor and determine whether US aid contributes to disproportionate civilian harm.”
The letter requested "information regarding accounting and monitoring procedures to ensure that any use of US weapons is in accordance with US policy and international law."
A senior US State Department official named Josh Paul also submitted his resignation in objection to Washington supplying the Zionist enemy entity with weapons, saying: The Zionist aggression that it carried out on the seventh of last October and the American support “for that response and for the occupation in its current state will only lead to greater and deeper suffering for the Palestinians and the Zionists.” ".
In an infinite toll, the number of Palestinian martyrs since the start of the Zionist-US aggression on the Gaza Strip on the 7th of October has risen to more than 25,000 martyrs and 62,388 injured, the majority of whom are women and children.
While the Zionist enemy army announced on Sunday that its death toll had risen to 531 soldiers, and the wounded to 2,665 since the seventh of last October.
