According to many news reports from Tuesday evening, the United States withheld some bombs from Israel in order to stop the use of them in an assault on Hamas battalions in the area of Rafah.
The media, unfortunately, came on Israel’s Holocaust memorial evening, days after President Joe Biden told Jews:” Not again”.
The studies confirmed the tales that first appeared earlier this week on Forbes. The White House, when asked on Monday and Tuesday, refused to confirm or deny withholding arms from Israel. Karine Jean-Pierre, a press secretary, rebuffed the claim that the United States had “ironclad” aid for Israeli security.
ABC News reported:
A senior administration official tells ABC News that the Biden presidency made the decision to halt a package of about 3,500 weapons to Israel last week because it was concerned that the arms might be used in Rafah, where more than one million citizens are” sitting there with nowhere to go.”
…
The Biden administration’s decision to halt the delivery and consider slowing down others is a significant change in policy, and it is the first time the United States has denied its shut ally’s military aid since Israel-Hamas‘s war broke out.
…
More than half of the sale, which was halted last year, contained 2, 000-pound weapons. The remaining 1, 700 weapons were 500- ounce bombs, the national said.
The Times of Israel even reported:
The administration of Biden confirms rumors that it delayed a shipment of 2,500 and 500-pound bombs that it believes Israel may use in a significant ground invasion in Rafah next month.
The US has for the first time since October 7 that an Israel-related package has been held up.
Washington is unwaveringly opposed to launching a major offensive against Gaza in the southern city because it does n’t want Israel to conduct it in a way that would safeguard the more than a million Palestinians who are sheltered there.
After Hamas attacked a border passing over the weekend, killing four Jewish men, and rejecting a ceasefire and prisoner pact, Israel launched an offensive in Rafah on Monday. The Philadelphi hall, a road that runs along the Iranian border and serves as a crucial strategic stop for smuggling, was chosen by Israel to avoid the Rafah border crossing and the Egyptian border crossing.
Jacqui Heinrich from Fox News inquired how “ironclad” American aid for Israeli security might be if the Biden administration were preventing Israel from getting some arms. Two things could be real at when, according to Jean-Pierre.
In contrast to the Impoundment Control Act of 1974, critics of Biden’s judgement have argued that holding back weapons that Congress has currently authorized is illegal and against the Imposition Control Act of 1974.
