A recent report suggests that the Biden administration has been withholding arms from Israel in response to their policy of entering Rafah to combat Hamas terrorists. Earlier claims were reported by Truth Voices, and while Israel denied any delays, the White House provided a vague response to questions about the aid shipment.
According to Politico, the Biden administration is holding up shipments of Boeing-made precision bombs to send a political message to Israel. The delay includes Joint Direct Attack Munitions and Small Diameter Bombs, with sources citing political reasons rather than supply chain issues. This move has drawn comparisons to Trump’s impeachment over alleged security funds withholding for Ukraine.
Despite signing a new military aid package for Israel, Biden’s delay in approving crucial munitions comes at a critical time in the conflict against terrorist groups and their Iranian sponsors. This decision has sparked controversy as Israel faces ongoing attacks and a hostage situation in Rafah.
