Biden Says ‘I’m Not Supplying The Weapons’ If Israel Attacks Rafah
==========
President Joe Biden stated in an interview that the U.S. will not supply Israel with American weapons if Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu orders an offensive on the city of Rafah in the southern Gaza Strip. This marks a potential turning point in the U.S.' collaboration with Israel in its war against Hamas. Biden also acknowledged that bombs provided by the U.S. have been used to kill civilians in Gaza. The U.S. has paused a weapons shipment to Israel over concerns they could be used against civilians in Rafah. The paused shipment includes 1,800 2,000-pound bombs and 1,700 500-pound bombs. Israeli officials have expressed frustration over the paused shipment. Biden has largely supported Israel's war against Hamas despite pushback from Democrats. The Israeli Defense Forces have taken control of the Rafah border crossing between Gaza and Egypt and have vowed to continue their offensive.
