Is he also going to stop shipping weapons to Israel? Otherwise it makes no fucking sense.

Of course not. Extra deliveries past congress. Not that they would block it

Nah see, the pier can be used for both. Synergy.

It's actually a brilliant economic play. Instead of only arming Isreal, we should just arm both sides and get that CASH.

I don't think they are giving/selling weapons to Gaza Strip.....

Pushing some agenda is the only benefit it ~~could get~~ is getting by supporting either side, they're both unprofitable; one's poor and the other only accepts weapon donations.

Edit: Getting oil from naval wells also makes some sense as an explanation.
