If Israel invades Rafah, the final redoubt of Hamas, a U.S.-designated Islamic terror group, President Joe Biden threatened to withdraw artillery and other arms from it.
Biden claimed in an interview with CNN’s Erin Burnett that the US would not provide them with” the weapons” if Israel attempted to invade Rafah.
In Gaza, according to Biden,” Citizens have been killed as a result of those bombs and other methods of their pursuing people centers.”
Following next week’s suspension of a package of 2, 000-pound explosives to Israel, Biden made his remarks.
#BREAKING: Biden tells CNN that he will continue to halt bombings against Israel and even keep up artillery shell because the Army has done and wants to do is” only wrong.”

” I made it clear that if they go into Rafah, they have n’t gone into Rafah however, if they go into Rafah— I’m no supplying the weapons that have been used generally to deal with Rafah, to deal with the settlements, to deal with that trouble,” Biden said.
Biden continued to claim that the United States would make sure that Israel was” secure in terms of Iron Dome and their ability to respond to problems.”
Hamas launched a storm of missiles from Rafah on Sunday toward the Gaza Strip’s Kerem Shalom border crossing, which is the point of entry for humanitarian assistance.
Four men were killed in the attack, and ten people were hurt.
On Monday, the Israel Defense Forces ( IDF) urged residents in Rafah to seek safety and evacuate. To call for citizens to leave the Al-Mawaasi charitable territory and other protected zones, the IDF used text messages and various forms of communication.
David Mencer, a spokesman for Israel’s government, made a warning to residents on Monday that it was n’t a bluff.
The IDF seized control of the border crossing it stock with Egypt the following day by sending vehicles into Rafah.
” It’s really bad, we’re not going to supply the arms and artillery shell that have been used,” Biden added.
