President Joe Biden has said that he will withhold approved shipments of military aid to Israel if Israel invades Rafah in the southern part of Gaza. Israeli President Benjamin Netanyahu had already vowed to undertake that offensive.
“I made it clear that if they go into Rafah… I’m not supplying the weapons,” Biden said to CNN in an interview. “Civilians have been killed in Gaza as a consequence of those bombs and other ways in which they go after population centers,” he said.
“I made it clear that if they go into Rafah – they haven’t gone in Rafah yet – 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,” he continued.
Aid has been approved through bipartisan Congressional bills which were then signed by Biden. Biden has now refused to deliver that aid amid growing dissent to Israel’s fight against Palestinian terror group Hamas from his left flank in the Democratic Party.
