The Biden administration is reportedly withholding weapons from the Israel Defense Forces, but the Israeli government has not confirmed or denied these reports.
Despite the lack of confirmation, it is known that the U.S. is withholding 3,500 bombs from Israel. Israel has continued efforts to provide humanitarian aid to Gaza, even amidst military operations in Rafah.
The Israeli government’s goals remain focused on destroying Hamas, bringing home hostages, and ensuring the safety of Israel. Israeli control of the Rafah crossing and advancements along the Gaza-Egypt border are seen as leverage in hostage negotiations.
The military pressure on Hamas is expected to continue until a deal is reached that is acceptable to Israel.
