Biden Administration Approves $1.3 Billion in Military Aid to Egypt, Waives Human Rights Conditions
Sep 11, 2024, 06:19 PM
The Biden administration has approved $1.3 billion in military financing for Egypt this year, as confirmed by a State Department spokesperson. This decision marks the first time during Biden's presidency that Egypt will receive its full allocation of military aid. Of the total amount, $225 million is subject to human rights conditions, which Secretary of State Antony Blinken waived citing U.S. national security interests. Additionally, $320 million of the aid has been withheld in recent years due to unmet conditions. The administration notified Congress of this decision on Wednesday. This move is seen as part of a broader strategy to seek Cairo's assistance in ending the ongoing conflict in Gaza.
