TEHRAN (Defapress) - According to Al Jazeera, Bezalel Smotrich, the Minister of Finance of the Zionist regime, who is scheduled to travel to Washington, stated in a statement that he will meet with some officials of the country in the United States, including the Secretary of the Treasury, to strengthen economic cooperation.
He added that in his meetings with American officials, he will emphasize Tel Aviv's need for greater American support to continue the war.
This is while media sources are reporting that over the past 2 months, more than $12 billion in arms aid has been sent to the Zionist regime from the United States.
Bezalel Smotrich had previously been sanctioned by the United States, but the Axios publication announced last week, citing informed sources, that Smotrich is scheduled to travel to Washington next week to meet with his American counterpart.
These sources added that Smotrich's trip to Washington next week will take place after the US government lifted sanctions against him during the Biden era.
