The United States Halts Arms Shipment to Israel Amidst Aggression Against Gaza
Last week, the United States made a significant decision to put an ammunition shipment destined for Israel on hold, marking the first time the US has taken such action since the start of Israel’s aggression against the Gaza Strip on Oct. 7, 2023. This move raised serious concerns within the Israeli government and left officials scrambling for answers.
This decision comes at a critical time when US President Joe Biden is facing backlash for supporting Israel’s aggression against Gaza. It also follows Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s defiance of American warnings, stating his military’s intent to invade the southern border city of Rafah regardless of a ceasefire deal.
During US Secretary of State Antony Blinken’s recent regional tour, he engaged in a tough conversation with Netanyahu about the potential invasion of Rafah, something the US opposes unless a concrete evacuation plan for the displaced population is presented by Israel.
