The United States has approved a $165 million weapons sale to "Israel", specifically for heavy-duty tank trailers, the State Department confirmed on Thursday.

The sale includes spare parts, repair kits, toolsets, and technical and logistical support. These systems, however, are not scheduled for delivery until 2027.

Earlier this year, the US unveiled a substantial $20 billion weapons package for the Israeli occupation entity, which includes F-15 fighter jets. Similar to the tank trailers, these systems will also take several years to arrive.

This comes despite mounting calls from lawmakers and the public for the Biden administration to end or reduce military aid to its biggest ally "Israel" due to the tens of thousands of Palestinians killed in the ongoing war on the Gaza Strip.

In a shy response to the situation, the US delayed in May the delivery of certain 2,000-pound bombs amid continued Israeli airstrikes on densely populated civilian areas in Gaza, though it moved forward with sending 500-pound bombs, as well as other weapons to "Israel".

The Palestinian Resistance factions have pointed out that the Israeli occupation forces are committing massacres against civilians in Gaza with a greenlight from US President Joe Biden's administration, which claims to be working on reaching a ceasefire that would end the war and prisoner exchange deal between Hamas and "Israel".

Earlier on Wednesday, US Senator Bernie Sanders underscored that the US must cease funding Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's ongoing war on Gaza.

"Enough is enough. No more money for Netanyahu's war machine," Sanders urged.

In the same vein, a senior Israeli Air Force officer told the Israeli newspaper Haaretz that without American support, the Israeli military, especially the Air Force, would face significant difficulties in sustaining its war for more than a few months.
