Biden says US will withhold weapons from Israel if it invades Rafah
May 8 (Reuters) - President Joe Biden on Wednesday publicly warned Israel for the first time that the U.S. would stop supplying it weapons if Israeli forces make a major invasion of Rafah, a refugee-packed city in southern Gaza.
“I made it clear that if they go into Rafah ..., I’m not supplying the weapons that have been used historically to deal with Rafah, to deal with the cities – that deal with that problem,” Biden said in an interview with CNN.
Biden's comments represent his strongest public language to date in his effort to deter an Israeli assault on Rafah while underscoring a growing rift between the U.S. and its strongest ally in the Middle East.
What his definition of a major invasion?
Because what’s happening now is pretty fucking major.
it’s just Israeli sparkling cleansing
Guess the IDF will just have to keep killing the women and children from a distance .
The invasion is over, the IDF have bulldozed the Rafah crossing. The worst is about to begin. It's time to send American troops to Gaza, president Biden. You want my vote? Stop them.
Nah. Democrats are too bought into fear politics. Biden can do whatever you want because he knows he’ll get the anti-vote. I’m not voting for either candidate.
Too little too late.
Too little too late.
If you think its too late to stop the worst possible atrocities, I envy the limits of your imagination.
I think the US should’ve done a LOT more a LONG time ago to stop these fascists marching in and slaughtering innocent children.
Idk if we need four posts about this in one day lol
