The US War Department recently failed its eighth consecutive financial audit of a trillion-dollar budget, in a 'flagrant disregard for public funds'
A Pentagon audit concluded that the US military did not properly track significant portions of the $13.4 billion in military aid sent to Israel to support the genocide of Palestinians in Gaza, Defense News reported on 29 December.
The audit conducted by the Pentagon’s inspector general revealed that as of November 2024, the US military had maintained records for only 44 percent of the defense articles subject to enhanced monitoring.
Before the genocide in Gaza began, the US military tracked 69 percent of defense articles transferred to Israel.
Oversight of defense articles sold, leased, or exported to foreign partners through end-use monitoring programs is required by US federal law.
The audit further revealed that US Central Command (CENTCOM) and the Defense Security Cooperation Agency “did not conduct adequate oversight of the EEUM program in Israel.” (more...)
