Senator Tom Cotton (R-AR) suggested on Thursday that the House should impeach President Joe Biden for withholding ammunition from Israel for political reasons. Biden’s decision to stop the shipment of offensive weapons to the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) in order to prevent attacks on Hamas in Rafah has stirred political controversy. Some Republicans and media pundits have labeled this as a political move, highlighting the divide within the Democratic party between those who want to defund Israel and those who support Israel’s right to defend itself against terrorists.
Drawing parallels to the impeachment of former President Donald Trump for allegedly withholding military aid from Ukraine for political gain, Cotton argued that Biden should face impeachment based on similar precedent. Critics have pointed out the hypocrisy of overlooking Biden’s actions compared to the grounds on which Trump was impeached.
Former President Trump has also criticized Biden for his decision to withhold ammunition from Israel, calling it a disgraceful political move. The debate over Biden’s actions continues to unfold, with conflicting views on whether this decision is justified in light of the geopolitical context.
