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.
Good scoop. Axios actually doing its job.
Kinda surprised Israel can’t make enough ammo for their needs. I’d think after supply issues dating back to their reformation as a country would have dictated a domestic supply source.
How else can Biden get the message to them that he is behind them 100%? Trust me. Right, Joe?
October 7th might be the moment that they realize they are truly on their own, except for God.
It could just be for show to pressure to cut a deal. It could be they have massive stockpiles and over-ask.
With the Hamas rocket attack on the humanitarian aid crossing yesterday, and Hamas stealing the aid trucks from Jordan the day before maybe the breakdown peace talks are falling apart and this deal will be reversed. Or maybe double downed.
I guess eventually God will intervene.
“ Kinda surprised Israel can’t make enough ammo for their needs. I’d think after supply issues dating back to their reformation as a country would have dictated a domestic supply source.”
The used to. They made good ammo too, and exported it. Over time though, we gave them so much money for munitions that had strings attached: they had to use those funds to buy ours. They should never have trusted us.
Biden so desperate to appease the hitler youth in his party he’s selling out Israel not like Biden ever cared about Israel to begin with
American ‘aid’ to Israel is actually bribes to senior Israeli military, intelligence, and politicians to NOT be independent of America, and to not be an international competitor of American Military Industrial Complex.
Prophecy coming true. Biden is doing what G_D said would be done. As satans power increases in the Last Days, all world leaders will fall under his spell and turn against Israel. List of prophecies about the world being against Israel:

Right. With a little luck, Biden will bungle the job so badly he will completely alienate both Muslim and Jewish voters.
Exactly !
Probably holding it over Israel’s head to keep them from entering Rafah. America’s international reputation is suffering greatly for supporting Netanyahu’s slaughter of civilians. Israel is no closer to wiping out Hamas than they were in the beginning. The first few weeks we heard them talking about entering the tunnels and eradicating Hamas but then nothing. I doubt they’ve killed 20% of Hamas and an operation in Rafah isn’t going to result in them getting many more. Who’s Netanyahu fooling he’s just attempting to ethnically cleanse Gaza and the whole world sees it except for a few delusional people on this forum.
Yes He will.
They can assemble things. But they probably just do not have the capability of mining all the things they would need to build ammo on a large scale. To my knowledge Israel does not produce any steel, they don’t mind copper they don’t have all the precursors to build the explosives and ammo. It’s a very small country. If they had an ammunition factory with that kind of capability, Today we would probably be talking about nations putting an embargo on copper, steel, machine tools, etc.
The thing is, Israel has a population of only 9.3 million but Hamas and Hezbollah have weapons supplied by Iran and other oil rich Middle-Eastern governments and organizations - weaponry of a sophistication and quantity that they could never produce on their own. So, even though Israel has sophisticated weapons manufacturing capability, it’s difficult to match their enemies, just on quantity.
Ethnic cleansing is not what is happening to Hamas and Gaza. They are being given the same treatment that the US gave Germany and Japan. And that Sherman gave the South. In fact Israel is falling well short of that standard.
War results in civilian deaths. It is impossible to fight a war without eliminating your enemy’s ability to wage war. If the US is unable to tolerate civilian casualties in a war then it has already lost the next one and our freedoms are forfeit.
The Palestinians can choose to live in peace with Israel but they chose terror and war instead. Gaza’s population has grown from a few 100,000 to millions. How does that happen of ethnic cleaning in the goal?
