US House passes $14.3 billion in Israel aid

The Republican-majority US House of Representatives has passed a bill to provide $14.3 billion in aid to Israel amid the Jewish nation's ongoing war with the Hamas militant group in Gaza.

Unyielding War

Underlying the religious sanctity conferred by the Islamists, there is an irreducible attachment not just to the West Bank and Gaza Strip, but to the whole of Palestine. Reflective of this, the 1988 Charter of Hamas describes the Jewish state on Palestinian territory as an utter absurdity that will be inevitably destroyed. Destruction of Israel is not just the goal but the precondition of liberating Palestine.
