Security source says armored vehicles approved months ago at US request

Following reports that Israel okayed the transfer of ten armored vehicles to Palestinian Authority security forces amid right-wing criticism, a security source is cited by Hebrew-language media as saying the move was approved nine months ago at Washington’s request.

“The matter was approved at the Americans’ request by the former defense minister [Avigdor Liberman] and the prime minister [Benjamin Netanyahu] more than nine months ago and was delivered to the Palestinians by the Americans already four months ago,” the unnamed source reportedly says.
