Judea and Samaria leaders lambasted the Biden administration after the New York Times reported that U.S. officials “fear” the M-16 rifles Israel was going to buy through a State Department transaction would end up with “security squads” comprising civilians in communities beyond the 1967 borders.
According to the report, State Department officials who oversee weapons sales have received “reassurances” that the 24,000 rifles destined to Israel would end up only with the uniformed police force rather than the civilians.
