Iran war live: IRGC says US, Israel ‘must accept withdrawal’ from region

Daryl Kimball, executive director of the Arms Control Association, says the US-Israel arms deal risks encouraging Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government unless Washington ensures strict compliance with human rights and aid conditions.Kimball told Al Jazeera that there is “increasing frustration with the way the war has been prosecuted”.“This kind of weapons shipment at this point only encourages Netanyahu’s government, and it is really a gift to this government ahead of this election, to try to show that Netanyahu still has full American support,” Kimball said.US law requires that “countries we are assisting are not engaged in human rights abuses nor are they blocking humanitarian assistance”, he noted.“It is inarguable whether Israel has violated those principles,” Kimball said, adding that “we need to make sure that our government can verify and document that Israel is meeting our conditions”.
