US Approves $16B in Major Arms Sales to Israel and Saudi Arabia

Описание: In the final hours of a presidency, the United States quietly committed over $16 billion to the future of war in the Middle East. This documentary investigation uncovers the strategic gamble behind the massive, last-minute arms sales to Israel and Saudi Arabia—a move that experts warn could lock in the next conflict before the last one’s rubble is cleared.

We go beyond the headlines to analyze the congressional notifications, the geopolitical chessboard, and the stark warnings from lawmakers and analysts. This is the story of how weapons contracts become a president’s most enduring foreign policy legacy.

Based on exclusive analysis of State Department documents and reporting from The Associated Press, The Wall Street Journal, Reuters, The New York Times, Foreign Policy, Janes Defence Weekly, Haaretz, and The Guardian, this film features insights from:

Rep. Gregory Meeks (D-NY) on the bypassing of Congress.

Dr. Anthony Cordesman (CSIS) on the “declaration of strategic self-reliance” for Israel.

Becca Wasser (CNAS) on the tactical lessons learned from Gaza.

European and Gulf diplomats on the regional shockwaves.

We examine:

The $9 Billion Saudi Package: 730 Patriot missiles and what they signal about a permanent U.S.-led defense network against Iran.

The $6.67 Billion Israeli Deal: How 30 Apache attack helicopters and 3,250 tactical vehicles are transforming the IDF for multi-front warfare.

The glaring contradiction between promoting a Gaza ceasefire and delivering the tools for a more devastating future war.

Why this “final salvo” of arms sales may be the most consequential act of the administration’s final days.
