Biden Withholds Weapons as Ties with Israel Strain | Vantage with Palki Sharma

The US has reportedly paused and delayed shipments of weapons to Israel amid differences over Benjamin Netanyahu's plan to begin a ground operation in Rafah. The shipments included powerful bombs and guidance kits for precision munition. While Israel's domestic defence industry is quite robust, the country has largely depended on US military aid for its security and safety. The US makes up around 68% of its total arms imports, most of which is bought using America's annual aid of around $3.8 billion. Biden's decision to withhold weapons sales is a symbol of recent strains in the relationship between these two long-time allies. How will it affect Israel's war in Gaza? Can Netanyahu win without American support? Palki Sharma tells you.

    Leaders. Leaders. This is the 21st century. Humanity has matured now beyond the brute beast mentality. What does “leader” mean? And what do leaders lead? Harmony or chaos? How many leaders are on this planet? How many humans are on this planet? Who leads who? And for what reason? Wake up brothers and sisters to the light of your own leader! The light of your own Spirit. Wake up brothers and sisters to the power of your Love. Your compassion. Pass it on… Namaste

    I seriously love the way this woman speaks. She has this beautiful accent and she articulates very well. She has a foreign accent but her English is spoken with such perfection. She is a pleasure to listen too.

    Important informational update. As a proud Indian🇮🇳, I really love ♥ and have a lot of respect for the incredible work of Palki Sharma really interesting story How British looted 45 trillion from India which is as a masterpiece of the highest quality. Its content is truly inspiring and I thoroughly enjoy watching it. The dedication, talent and hard work poured into the video are greatly appreciated by many. The Indian Union Public Service Commission has also deliver a remarkable report titled संघ लोक सेवा आयोग How Britishers killed 1.8 billion Indians. Chronology of British Raj's exploitative policies | UPSC," is equally astounding. The Indian government consistently produce insightful and thought-provoking articles of the utmost caliber. I sincerely hope they continue to produce such captivating exceptional work. Can it even get better than that? They deserve an award for best report of the year. Thank you for telling the truth.
