Financial Times recently reported that U.S. President Joe Biden has provisionally approved a $680 million weapons sale to Israel, which includes providing Israel with more precision-guided munitions.

However, not long before that, Biden just extended congratulations to Israel and Lebanon's Hezbollah on a ceasefire deal they had reached, and pledged to propose a new initiative aimed at ensuring a sustained ceasefire in Gaza.

While calling for a ceasefire on one hand, the United States continues to supply weapons on the other, exposing its hypocritical "double standards" for all to see.
