The Biden administration last week put a hold on a shipment of U.S.-made ammunition to Israel, two Israeli officials told Axios.
Why it matters: It is the first time since the Oct. 7 attack that the U.S. has stopped a weapons shipment intended for the Israeli military. The incident raised serious concerns inside the Israeli government and sent officials scrambling to understand why the shipment was held, Israeli officials said. President Biden is facing sharp criticism among Americans who oppose his support of Israel. The administration in February asked Israel to provide assurances that U.S.-made weapons were being used by Israel Defense Forces in Gaza in accordance with international law. Israel provided a signed letter of assurances in March.
Correct. The Great March of Return was during the Trump Administration. I wasn’t referring to all attacks in the history of Israel. This thread is about US providing support, which started in 1986 when Reagan took humanitarian aid from Israel, then leveraged military aid under the agreement that Israel uses it to attack Hezbollah in Lebanon. Maybe this is the start of change.
