The Washington Post published a report Wednesday that the Biden Administration may limit arms transfers to Israel if it attacks the remaining four Hamas battalions in Rafah, a city on the Egyptian border in the southern Gaza Strip.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said that Israel must enter Rafah to destroy Hamas and win the war. His war cabinet is considering a plan to evacuate Palestinian civilians north of the city before a military operation.
David Ignatius, a columnist known for his sources in government, published the story, likely leaked from the White House:
The Biden administration, worried about a new humanitarian catastrophe, appears to be considering ways to prevent Israel from using U.S. weapons if it attacks the densely populated area around the city of Rafah.
President Biden and senior advisers haven’t made any decision about imposing “conditionality” on U.S. weapons. But the very fact that officials seem to be debating this extreme step shows the administration’s growing concern about the crisis in Gaza — and its sharp disagreement with Israeli leaders over a Rafah assault.
…
Behind the growing tension with Netanyahu is Biden’s feeling that Israel hasn’t been listening to U.S. warnings and advice, and that the U.S.-Israeli relationship has been a one-way street. The administration feels it supports Israeli interests, at considerable political cost at home and abroad, while Netanyahu isn’t responsive to American requests. Israel argues that any space between U.S. and Israeli policy only benefits Hamas. But Israel doesn’t make compromises to narrow that gap

I called this three months ago. Just like the backstab to Ukraine. We talk our allies out on a limb by promising EVERYTHING they need to the very end. Then we saw the limb off by being unable to deliver the moon, as promised.
I bet Russia or their Brics allies can sell Israel some extra bombs and ammo if Biden won’t.
The globalists who say they want “peace” really like it when war drags on. In this case it means not letting Israel finish the job so they can transition to peace.
Biden is pro Hamas - pass it on.
Was the equipment we left in Afghanistan operable? And do the dumbasses have it?
Are you kidding? If anything Russia will be supplying Iran with weapons not Israel.
I promise to look the other way (and cheer) if Israel would be kind enough to bomb the WaPo collection of low-T and no IQ losers. The left is the enemy. Our media is the left. Treat them as such and life will improve greatly.
It looks like the Democrat two-timing policy of courting The Jew (money) and courting The Muslim (votes in swing states) just got CALLED OUT by Hamas. The Muslim sees that now - oh well.
Israel is making them look bad for showing how to win war after a terrorist attack.
The American government right now are the biggest bunch of evil bullying incompetent boobs on this earth.
They wield this power and have no idea what the outcome of their actions might do. And they do not even care about what the outcome is. They just shift the blame to others.
Biden needs to be cautious with endangering God’s Chosen People.
Biden wants a ceasefire to look good. Instead every day the hostages are with these animals, they are tortured, raped and killed. Would these politicians be so glib about a ceasefire if it were their family members in such mortal danger?
The Democrats have painted themselves into a corner.
No matter what they do they lose.
Grab the popcorn.
Joe can just reroute them to ham-ass.

Israel has basically concentrated Palestinians and that raises IDF risks.
Perhaps Israel should try to clear out areas systematically. Women, children and old men first into a safe zone. Then men who want to avoid war into another safe zone.
The biggest foreign policy mistake the US made was abandoning Trump’s movements towards better peace with Russia.
If the US and Russia were allied against China and the Islamics, the world would be better.
“What if they attack Hezbollah ?”
Israel has to conserve its bomb and missile stores insomuch as it can.
There’s no guarantee that Israel can buy more from the US. Maybe China can sell Israel enough to restock to a proper level.
Ukraine went on an offensive and now lacks men and weapons. Ukraine was able to hold its territory well before its 2023 southeast offensive.
“Trump...Russia”
Radically stepping up the conflict in Ukraine was a decision made in Moscow, the reasons for which I do not know. The results have been awful.
