The Biden administration has put a hold on a shipment of American-made ammunition to Israel, citing concerns over a potential Israeli invasion of the Gazan city of Rafah, where over a million Palestinian refugees are seeking shelter. This marks the first time the US has stopped a shipment to the Israeli military since the Hamas attacks on October 7.
The decision has raised concerns within Israel’s government, with officials expressing worry over the implications of this move. The White House declined to comment, while the Pentagon, State Department, and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu did not respond to questions. In February, it requested that the Israeli military provide proof that US-made weapons are being used in accordance with international law. Israel signed a letter of assurances in March.
Despite this development, Netanyahu has reiterated his intention to invade Rafah – even if a ceasefire and hostage release deal is reached with Hamas. Tensions between the US and Israel are evident, with Netanyahu hinting at the rift in a statement regarding Holocaust Remembrance Day.
Netanyahu and Secretary of State Antony Blinken had a “tough” conversation about the planned Rafah operation, with Blinken warning that the US would publicly oppose a strike on Rafah and that military action would harm US-Israel relations. The White House has reiterated its stance, with National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan stating that US policy will be influenced by the progression of the Rafah operation.

Let’s stop dancing around the issue: America is tacitly leading the blood libel charge against Israel. It can’t stop supporting Israel outright, because too many in the government still support Israel. So it’s doing whatever it can to undermine Israel’s credibility on the world stage by pretending that Israel is conducting some bogus genocide against Palestinians. This is an antisemitic American administration.
If this Rasha Biden hasn’t gone down in history yet as the worst President of the USA, he certainly will now. Shame on him, may Hashem show him his punishment in his lifetime.
I remember when the YWN articles were gushing about the “unprecedented” support by the US in the early days of the war. I said right away, I’m not impressed one drop. It is all just so the US can control Israels every move. I think I was right!
Biden believes that a large part of the Democratic Party are anti-Semites, so he has to throw them some bones. He also believes that a large part of the Democratic are pro-Israel. He feels that to win he has to be all things to all people, and will probably manage to something objectionable to all people.
Given the prominent role that anti-Semitism has within the Democratic party, the Israelis should avoid relying on the United States for anything.
Biden has taken his lying too far. He is NOT a friend of Israel. He is a closet terror supporter, a legacy he inherited from Obama y”sh. I daven daily that the rest of America should wise up to his true status as an enemy of freedom, democracy, morality, America, and Israel. Those who cannot tolerate anti-Semotism should no tolerance for Biden and his supporters either. He sold out America to the radical left. The brain dead goons like AOC, Omar, Bernie, and the rest of the Squad Have been allowed to run this country. What an utter disgrace.
so much for “we will always having israels back” . Guess he meant we will STAB THEM IN THE BACK.
TRUMP was right all alongwhen he said no jew in his right mind who supports the right of jews to live and protect themselves, should vote for biden -democrats
(aside from all the other reasons the USA went down hill since biden entered office economy,inflation, his being incapable of the job due to his age,HIS visibly impaired state and recognizable infirmities)
we need to daven harder weve seen open miracles and hope hasehm should protect his children
I think jackk and crazykanoi are glossing over this article
Bibi showing some serious guts. Very proud of him. That being said this is a problem because Israel doesn’t manufacture any ammunition. They buy it all from the us. So if they don’t sell them where will they get their bullets from?? We’ll see where this goes
Israel lives on miracles. We are Hashem’s nation, not the USA’s. We have to win the war not just fight it and them go home.
Thank you disgusting Joe for showing your true face before the elections. What a horrible figure speaking in favour of Israel but doing the oposite.
Not surprised he is trailing in all polls. Even the non jews understand that by binding the hands of a defendant you are assiting It’s enemy.
Anybody in the swing states who votes-or even stays home on election day- for Joe the anti-semite is a Jew hater himself.
SHAME ON YOU JOE !!!
After the yom Kippur war, because the us delayed shipments of tanks to Israel, they decided to build their own main battle tank. That’s where the impetus for building the merkava came from. It’s surprising they don’t manufacture their own ammunition after the experience of the Yom Kippur war.
Stop calling the shmoe Joe he ain’t your friend
Call him shmoe
The Israeli government is making the fatal error of trying to remove the protection of the Lomdei Torah. The US President is just the “stick” that HaShem is using to threaten us.
