Starting with the role of US President Joe Biden in completing the prisoner exchange deal between Israel and the Islamic resistance movement Hamas. Axios, citing an American official, reported that US President Joe Biden, during a call with the Emir of Qatar, Tamim bin Hamad, asked for help in resolving the crisis related to the prisoner deal between Israel and the Palestinian Hamas movement. The Israeli Prison Service announced that it had received a “green light” to begin releasing Palestinian prisoners. This comes after the Palestinian Hamas movement confirmed that it responded to "the appreciated Egyptian-Qatari efforts that moved throughout the day to ensure the continuation of the temporary truce agreement."

Earlier, Qatari Foreign Ministry spokesman Majid Al-Ansari confirmed that “after a delay in implementing the release of the prisoners, the obstacles were overcome through Qatari and Egyptian contacts,” referring to the second phase of the prisoner exchange between Hamas and Israel. In turn, Cairo News Channel, which is close to Egyptian intelligence, reported that “Egypt succeeded in ending the prisoner exchange crisis in the Gaza Strip and Palestinian prisoners after it faltered for technical reasons.” The channel pointed out that "the implementation of the second phase of the prisoner exchange deal will be completed as it was scheduled." The Al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of the Hamas movement, announced the postponement of the release of Israeli prisoners in response to Israeli violations of the truce and exchange agreement, referring to the issue of the number of relief trucks and the issue of seniority in releasing Palestinian prisoners from Israeli prisons.

On the other hand, the White House requested the removal of restrictions on all categories of weapons and ammunition to which Israel is permitted to access from US weapons stockpiles stored in Israel. This step to lift restrictions was included in the supplemental budget request submitted by the White House, which was sent to the Senate in Last October 20. The proposed budget says: “This request would allow the transfer of all categories of defense materials (military materials).”

The request relates to unknown weapons stockpiles in Israel that were established by the Pentagon for use in regional conflicts, but which Israel has been allowed to access in limited circumstances - the same limits that US President Joe Biden is seeking to remove. In a statement to The Intercept, John Rahming-Chappell, a legal fellow at the Center for Civilians in Conflict, said: “If approved, the amendments will create two steps to bypass restrictions imposed on the transfer of American weapons to Israel.” The War Reserve Allies of Israel (WRSA-I) was created in the 1980s to supply the United States in the event of a regional war, and is the largest link in a complex network of caches of virtually foreign American weapons. According to American laws, stocks are subject to high security oversight and are subject to a set of stringent requirements.

Under the conditions stipulated in these requirements, Israel was able to draw on the stockpile and purchase weapons at no or little cost under the guise of “effective support for US military aid.” Through WRSA-I, Biden is looking to lift almost all significant restrictions on the stockpile and transfer of weapons to Israel, with plans to remove restrictions on obsolete or surplus weapons, waive caps on annual spending on replenishing the stockpile, and remove Gun restrictions and reduced congressional oversight.

All of the changes in Biden's budget plan will be permanent, except for raising the spending cap, which is limited to fiscal year 2024. The changes will come in an already secretive arms trade relationship, as The Intercept recently reported. While the administration provided pages of detailed lists of weapons provided to Ukraine, for example, its disclosure of weapons provided to Israel does not warrant discussion. Last week, the American website “Bloomberg” obtained a leaked list of weapons provided to Israel, and revealed that it included thousands of Hellfire missiles - the same type that Israel widely uses in the ongoing air strikes of the Gaza Strip.

Josh Paul, a former official who served in the State Department's Bureau of Political-Military Affairs, said the impact of lifting restrictions on transfers to Israel - such as eliminating the requirement that weapons be part of surplus weapons - could harm US interests by reducing The United States' readiness for its conflicts in the region. Paul, who resigned last October over US arms aid to Israel, told The Intercept that “by dropping the requirement to declare such material as excess as required by law, this will also increase the current pressure on American military readiness to provide more weapons to Israel.”
