Need to investigate the origin of US weapons used by Hamas to attack Israel
(Baonghean.vn) - US Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene said that the weapons used to attack Israel could have originated from Afghanistan or Ukraine.
According to RT, on October 8, US Republican Party representative Marjorie Taylor Greene said that Washington must cooperate with Israel to investigate the origin of US-made weapons used by the Palestinian militant group Hamas in the ongoing attack on the country.
The female MP alleged that the weapons used by Hamas could have originated from Ukraine or Afghanistan, and that the confiscated weapons should be examined to determine their origin.
“We need to work with Israel to track the serial numbers on any American weapons used by Hamas against Israel,” Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene wrote on Twitter. “Are they from Afghanistan? Are they from Ukraine? It’s likely both.”
So far, there is no hard evidence to back up such claims. However, at least one unverified video circulating online purports to show a Hamas fighter “thanking” the Ukrainians for the weapons while “showing off” US-made weapons, including a standard M136 anti-tank grenade launcher.
According to RT, the US has poured large amounts of military aid into Ukraine over the past year and a half, supporting Kiev in its fight against Moscow. Ukraine has faced numerous accusations of misuse and arms sales, with various offers, from handguns, to mines and anti-tank guided missiles, constantly appearing on the “black market”.
In Afghanistan, the entire arsenal of the now-disarmed army, built with direct and years-long involvement from the Pentagon, fell into the hands of the Taliban after Islamist forces took over the country in August 2021.
