Joe Biden Is Unraveling American-Israeli Relations Before Our Eyes
Matt Vespa / Townhall Tipsheet

American-Israeli relations are unraveling before our eyes, and it’s Mr. Magoo driving all of it. Joe Biden has threatened again to cut off arms shipments to Israel if they go into Rafah. Israeli forces have been preparing to clear out the last Hamas bastion in Gaza for quite some time, which has met with staunch opposition from Biden and his band of idiots who seem determined to keep the terror organization from getting annihilated. 

Keep in mind, cutting off military aid is what got Trump impeached vis-à-vis Ukraine, albeit those were shoddy allegations brought forward by a whistleblower who reportedly was neck-deep in the Biden family’s influence-peddling operations in the country. On this issue, it’s happening. Biden already stopped a shipment of bombs, a detail he tried to hide from Congress (via Politico): 

 President Joe Biden said Wednesday that he would halt shipments of bombs and other munitions to Israel if it launched a major military invasion into the southern Gaza city of Rafah. 

The warning comes as Israeli forces appeared poised to conduct more operations in the densely packed city of 1.7 million despite repeated warnings not to do so by the U.S. government. 

Israel-Gaza war: Biden to halt some arms supplies if Israel invades Rafah
 
President Joe Biden has warned Israel that the US will stop supplying some weapons if it launches a major ground operation in the Gaza city of Rafah.

"If they go into Rafah, I'm not supplying the weapons that have been used historically to deal with Rafah," he said during an interview with CNN.

He added that he would "continue to make sure Israel is secure".

Despite firm and vocal US opposition, Israel appears poised to mount a large-scale invasion of Rafah.

The congested part of southern Gaza is Hamas's last major stronghold in the territory. US officials have warned that an operation in the city - where the population has swelled with refugees from other parts of Gaza - could lead to extensive civilian casualties.

"We're not going to supply the weapons and artillery shells," Mr Biden said in the interview, which aired on Wednesday.
