Tehran, February 19 (RHC)-- The spokesman for Iran's Foreign Ministry says the US Senate's approval of a $14-billion aid package to Israel shows the United States rewards the regime for massacring innocent Palestinian civilians amid the "unequal" conflict in Gaza.

In a post on his X account on Sunday, Nasser Kan'ani said the approved US package, funded by American taxpayers, signifies that figures such as Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu alongside other executioners in the Gaza war, "will be rewarded with a daily sum of one hundred million dollars from the #United States for massacring innocent Palestinian civilians."

He added that only corrupt and despotic entities, grounded in the act of taking lives, can squander money for the merciless massacre of innocents.

The U.S. Senate last week passed a $95.34 billion aid package for Ukraine, Israel and Chinese Taipei.  The legislation includes $61 billion for Ukraine, $14 billion for Israel and $4.83 billion to support the anti-China axis in the Indo-Pacific region, particularly Chinese Taipei.

More than 28,985 Palestinians, mostly women and children, have been killed and over 68,880 others injured since the Israeli regime launched its US-backed onslaught on Gaza on October 7, 2023.
