U.S. Claims It Only Sells "Defensive" Weapons to Saudi Arabia, but Does This Distinction Even Exist?

The Biden administration is reportedly deliberating the possibility of lifting its ban on offensive weapons sales to Saudi Arabia. But policy experts say the move would have "little meaning," as Washington has made no distinction between "offensive" and "defensive" arms deals and over the past year has continued to increase the sale of weapons to the kingdom.

"I have not seen any clear definition of 'offensive' vs 'defensive' weapons, and State officials told us there is not a documented definition," Jason Blair, director of international affairs and trade at the Government Accountability Office, told Middle East Eye.

Soon after entering office in 2021, Biden announced an end to US support for offensive operations in the Saudi Arabia-led coalition's war efforts against the Houthi rebels in Yemen, following the documented use of American-made weapons that kill civilians as well as the major humanitarian catastrophe caused by the war.

However, more than a year later, rights advocates, experts, and lawmakers have all raised questions about the nature of "defensive" versus "offensive" weaponry.

“My understanding is that the Pentagon and State Department have never had clear definitions of what was an ‘offensive’ vs ‘defensive’ weapon, and largely took Saudi Arabia’s word for what purposes weapons would serve,” Lindsay Koshgarian, programme director of the National Priorities Project, told Middle East Eye.

Meanwhile, arms sales to the kingdom continued, with the US approving a $650 million sale to Saudi Arabia late last year.

Biden Falsely Claims U.S. Troops Aren’t Engaged in Combat in the Middle East

President Biden penned an op-ed about his upcoming trip to the Middle East that was published in The Washington Post on Saturday (July 9), where he falsely claimed that US troops are not engaged in combat missions in the region.

The president wrote: “Next week, I will be the first president to visit the Middle East since 9/11 without US troops engaged in a combat mission there.”

Biden will be traveling to the Middle East from July 13-16, and he will visit Israel, the West Bank, and Saudi Arabia.

A major aspect of his trip is pushing Israel-Saudi normalization and military cooperation against Iran. Biden said in the op-ed that he will be the first president to fly from Israel to Saudi Arabia and called the move “a small symbol of the budding relations and steps toward normalization between Israel and the Arab world.”
