Biden says US won't supply weapons for Israel to attack Rafah, in warning to ally
President Joe Biden says he will not supply offensive weapons that Israel can use to launch an all-out assault on Rafah — the last major Hamas stronghold in Gaza — over concern for the well-being of the more than 1 million civilians sheltering there.
President Joe Biden said Wednesday that he would not supply offensive weapons that Israel could use to launch an all-out assault on Rafah — the last major Hamas stronghold in Gaza — over concern for the well-being of the more than 1 million civilians sheltering there.
Biden, in an interview with CNN, said the U.S. was still committed to Israel’s defense and would supply Iron Dome rocket interceptors and other defensive arms, but that if Israel goes into Rafah, “we’re not going to supply the weapons and artillery shells used.”
That he’s even saying this means the pressure is working. Keep it up!
How can you control what they use weapons you give them for? Maybe stop giving them any amount of money and weapons
Certain weapons like Iron Dome interceptors can only really be used for that purpose. I'm sure if Hamas got their hands on the interceptors, they would make clever use of the warheads.
But I do agree with you. Whose to say they don't have enough munitions stockpiled already to shell Gaza for years to come? Or maybe purchase under the table from other supportive countries in Europe?
They already have the weapons and are already attacking rafah so...
Right…Rafah was supposed to be another “red line” for Biden, and per usual Netenyahu spits in Biden’s face, calls him his removed, and bombs away. Over 100 large bombs dropped on Rafah already, and perhaps more importantly with IDF shutting down the Rafah border crossing, the slow drip of humanitarian aid has completely ceased.
This. Is. Genocide.
Doesn't Israel have enough weapons already anyway?
Well, we'll see how this plays out. Action not words. November is coming.
We already did
Blah blah blah, hard-core reprimand via donation, blah blah geno
Too late, they're shooting tents with merkavas right now
Blow up a tent for the price of a house.
