State: $33 Billion in GCC Weapon Sales in 11 Month
DUBAI and WASHINGTON — The US State Department has facilitated $33 billion worth of weapons sales to its Arab Gulf allies since May 2015, according to department figures.
The six Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries have received weapons including ballistic missile defense capabilities, attack helicopters, advanced frigates and anti-armor missiles, according to David McKeeby, a spokesman the State Department’s Bureau of Political-Military Affairs.
"Consistent with the commitments we made to our Gulf partners at the Camp David summit last May, we have made every effort to expedite sales. Since then, the State and Defense departments have authorized more than $33 billion in defense sales to the 6 Gulf Coordination Council countries," McKeeby told Defense News.
The two Gulf countries have been waiting approvals to purchase 40 F/A-18 Super Hornets and 72 F-15 Silent Eagles to Qatar. Both sales have spent two years in processing, leading some members of Congress to question if the Obama administration is purposefully holding up the sales.
In response, the State Department has emphasized the relationship between those two nations and the United States, including pointing out that Qatar was the largest customer of the United States for foreign military sales in 2014, purchasing more than $10 billion in advanced military equipment such as Apache helicopters, Patriot missile defense systems and Javelin missiles. Qatar also purchased eight C-17s and four C-130Js via direct commercial sale that year.
A top State Department official told Defense News on Tuesday that the approval for fighter sales to Kuwait and Qatar are not being held up because of Israel’s pending military financing agreement with the US.
Asked specifically if the fighter sales are being held up because of the pending Israeli deal, Rose Gottemoeller, under secretary of state for arms control and international security, said: “No. It’s not. It’s not tied.".............
