America has signed agreements to provide Isreal with military supplies.

Obama is violating these agreements and it won't fly long term.

We also have a defense treaty with the Ukraine to protect them from Russia that Obama is ignoring.

Americas word means to the rest of the world under Obama.

BTW, Isreal makes darn fine military hardware.

One of the unstated reasons we supply things like Hellfires to Isreal is to keep them from developing their own versions which could be better than ours and then selling them to the rest of the world.

Obama is turning a good customer into a potential strong competitor to our defense industry

It may be a good idea for Israel to develop their own, as I would consider the US as an unreliable supplier under the leadership of a misguided human being and (m)uslim sympathizer.

Hellfires would likely be used to pick off Hamas leaders as they move, and to reduce IDF and civilian casualties with precision air cover.

Congress will support Israel, but this was probably the only way Obama could restrain Israel in the short run, to protect Hamas. I would not be surprised if they also coordinated with the (leftist party) Brits to cut off resupply of precision munitions, to tie Israel’s hands.

How to overcome Obama’s sabotage is perhaps Israel’s toughest challenge in defeating Hamas.
