Biden Threatens to Limit US Arms Supply to Israel during Gaza Conflict

In a recent interview with CNN, President Joe Biden announced that if Israel carries out a ground invasion in the southern city of Rafah in the Gaza Strip, the United States will cease providing Israel with offensive weaponry such as tank and artillery shells, precision-guided bombs, and other US-supplied arms that have allegedly been utilized by Israel to harm Gaza’s citizens. While Biden maintained that the US would not abandon Israel’s security needs, he clarified that Israel’s ability to wage war on specific areas of Gaza would be restricted as a result of this decision. The move comes amid ongoing negotiations in Cairo for a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas, while the Biden administration continues to urge Israel to take measures to protect civilians in Rafah.
