A letter from Republican Senator Tom Cotton of Arkansas, signed by all GOP senators except Rand Paul of Kentucky, accuses Biden of enforcing a &#8220;partial arms embargo against Israel,&#8221; as reported by Fox News. They warned that his &#8220;stalling tactics&#8221; are putting the safety of America&#8217;s closest ally in the Middle East at risk and endangering U.S. servicemembers in the area. In May, the Biden administration halted the shipment of 2,000-pound bombs to Israel due to concerns for civilians in Rafah, a key refuge for Hamas militants. While these specific deliveries are on hold, other weapon requests are still being processed.<\/p>\n<p>Last month, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu expressed frustration over this delay: \u201cIt\u2019s inconceivable that in recent months the administration has been withholding weapons and ammunition from Israel.\u201d He urged for more support to expedite their efforts. The senators linked a recent Hezbollah attack that resulted in 12 child fatalities to this delay and stated that Biden&#8217;s caution regarding escalation has left Israel vulnerable while emboldening its adversaries. They also claimed that Biden has undermined U.S. credibility as a long-term security ally.<\/p>\n<p>In light of escalating threats following the assassination of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran on Wednesday, it is crucial for Israel to secure additional ammunition soon.
