AhlulBayt News Agency: A former analyst with the US spy agency CIA says the Israeli aggression against the Gaza Strip will end immediately if Washington stops the flow of weapons to the occupying regime.
Speaking to Press TV, Larry Johnson condemned the United States for “enabling” Israel to kill civilians during its bloody war on the besieged Gaza Strip.
“If it (the US) halted the shipment of ammunition, bombs and artillery rounds and told Israel we are going to cut off your economic aid, the war will stop,” he said.
However, he added, a suspension of arms transfer to the Occupied Palestine “is not a feasible option” politically because of the influence of the Israeli lobby in the US, AIPAC, and the support the regime enjoys among the Democrats and the Republicans.
The US, a staunch ally of Israel, provides over $3 billion in military aid to the regime annually.
It has offered untrammeled support for Israel since October 7, when the usurping entity waged the brutal war on Gaza following a historic operation by the Palestinian Hamas resistance group.
Since the start of the offensive, the Tel Aviv regime has massacred at least 18,608 Palestinians, mostly women and children, and injured 50,594 others.
Johnson said that Palestinians are “headed towards being extinguished” in Gaza as Israel is targeting and destroying hospitals and schools, as well as critical infrastructure for sewage and water in the besieged territory.
“They (the Israelis) are making it (Gaza) deliberately unlivable and the world is sort of figuratively sitting on its hands even though it is voting to condemn Israel,” he noted, referring to Tuesday’s high vote for a UN General Assembly resolution demanding an immediate humanitarian ceasefire in Gaza.
