Concerns over potential use in Rafah \u200cled to the \u2063suspension. Delays signal a shift in \u200bU.S.-Israel \u200drelations, \u200dprompting a State Department report on arms usage in Gaza. This move underlines the administration&#8217;s careful review\u200c of weapons transfers amid escalating tensions. The Biden administration&#8217;s decision\u2063 to stop the bomb shipment \u200bto Israel marks a significant shift in arms supply policy. The concerns about the potential use of weapons in Rafah have led to this suspension, reflecting a reevaluation of U.S.-Israel relations. This \u200daction underscores the administration&#8217;s \u200dcautious approach towards arms \u200btransfers amidst rising tensions in the\u2064 region.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<header> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/news\/\">  News <\/a>   <span> <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/author\/russdavis\/\">  <\/a> <\/p>\n<p> <span>   By <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/author\/russdavis\/%20\"><span>Jack Davis<\/span><\/a> <\/span> <span>   May 8, 2024 at 6:48am <\/span> <\/span>  <\/header>\n<section>\n<p>Weeks after President Joe Biden signed a bill to allow weapons to keep flowing to Israel, the Biden administration is preventing some weapons from reaching it.<\/p>\n<p>Last week, the Biden administration halted a planned shipment of bombs to Israel because it does not want Israel to attack <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/israeli-officials-say-got-played-biden-administration-hamas-cease-fire-talks\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Rafah<\/a>, a city in southern Gaza where Israel believes the last major organized Hamas forces have gathered, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/business\/aerospace-defense\/us-has-been-holding-up-several-weapons-shipments-israel-2-weeks-source-says-2024-05-07\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Reuters<\/a>. Other shipments have been halted for two weeks.<\/p>\n<p>The official, who Reuters did not name, said that once it seemed clear Israel would defy the Biden administration, \u201cWe began to carefully review proposed transfers of particular weapons to Israel that might be used in Rafah.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs a result of that review, we have paused one shipment of weapons last week. It consists of 1,800 2,000-lb bombs and 1,700 500-lb bombs,\u201d the official said.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">This is outrageous.<\/p>\n<p>President Biden is caving to Hamas sympathizers and abandoning our allies in Israel.<\/p>\n<p>The Biden administration must lift every hold on ammunition and weapons that Israel needs and deserves to defend itself from vicious terrorists. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/BwrhToZnHl\">https:\/\/t.co\/BwrhToZnHl<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Rep.

We have not made a final determination on how to proceed with this shipment,\u201d the official said.<\/p>\n<p>The report noted that some of the weaponry stopped would convert bombs that are not precision-guided into ordinance that can be precisely targeted.<\/p>\n<div id=\"firefly-poll-container\">\n<p>Should the Biden administration be more supportive of Israel?<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said the administration\u2019s commitment to Israel was \u201cironclad.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In speaking about the stalled shipment, she said, \u201cTwo things could be true, in the sense of having those conversations, tough, direct conversations with our counterparts in Israel \u2026 in making sure citizens\u2019 lives are protected \u2026 and getting that commitment.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The delays were the first since Israel responded to the Oct. 7 terrorist attack by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/biden-scared-death-sen-john-kennedy-calls-presidents-fear-going-hamas-wing\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Hamas<\/a> by invading Gaza.<\/p>\n<p>Israel Defense Forces spokesman Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari said differences between the U.S. and Israel would be resolved \u201cbehind closed doors,\u201d according to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.timesofisrael.com\/idf-spokesman-plays-down-us-arms-shipment-holdup-says-disagreements-resolved-privately\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Times of Israel<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Preferring to dwell on the positive, he said American support for Israel has assumed \u201ca scope without precedent, I think, in Israel\u2019s history.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He sidestepped any definitive comment about an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/watch-pro-hamas-protesters-find-students-sec-country-fight-back\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Israeli attack<\/a> on Rafah.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe will deal with Rafah in a way that is right for us,\u201d Hagari said, adding, \u201ceven after we deal with Rafah, there will be terrorism. Hamas will move north and try to regroup, even in the coming days. Wherever Hamas returns to, both in the north and in the center of the Strip, we will return to action.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">So the Biden administration is withholding the weapons Israel needs in order to minimize casualties, forcing Israel to use non-precise weapons so that the Biden administration can then accuse Israel of killing civilians.<\/p>\n<p>If this is true, we are talking a whole deeper level of\u2026 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/q7Aw4npNyQ\">https:\/\/t.co\/q7Aw4npNyQ<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Avi Abelow (@aviabelow) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/aviabelow\/status\/1787573016232095826?\">May 6, 2024<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>  This week, the State Department will deliver a report passing judgment on Israel\u2019s use of weapons in Gaza, according to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.timesofisrael.com\/biden-administration-set-to-report-whether-israel-using-us-weapons-in-gaza-legally\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Times of Israel<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat is our intention, to provide it on time,\u201d State Department representative Matthew Miller said on Monday.
