Obama Signs Bill Giving ’Israel’ $225 million for Iron Dome

Local Editor

US President Obama on Monday signed a bill that will give the Zionist entity $225 million to restock its Iron Dome missile system.

The House voted 395-8 to pass the bill Friday night.

The missile shield system was developed jointly by the United States and "Israel".

At a news conference Friday, Obama reiterated his support to the so-called "Israel's" right to "defend itself" and noted American support for the Iron Dome.

"And so, not only have we been supportive of "Israel" in its right to defend itself, but in very concrete terms - for example, in support for the Iron Dome program that has intercepted rockets that are firing down on "Israel" - we've been trying to cooperate as much as we can to make sure that "Israel" is able to protect its citizens," Obama said.

An "Israeli" airstrike Sunday killed 10 people outside a UN school in Gaza, prompting some of the harshest American criticism of "Israel" since the conflict began.

State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki said in a statement that "the United States is appalled by today's disgraceful shelling" and urged "Israel" to do more to "avoid civilian casualties" and to protect UN facilities.

Before the cease-fire announcement Monday, White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest said the United States continues to push for a cease-fire and that it has expressed its concerns about the "Israeli" military living up "to their own standards" about protecting civilians.

"We do continue to believe that the violence in Gaza should end as soon as possible," Earnest said.
