Biden pledges to halt US arms sales to Israel amid major operation in Rafah

Joe Biden Announces End to US Ammunition Supply to Israel in Gaza Strikes

In an exclusive interview with CNN on May 8th, Joe Biden announced that the United States would no longer provide American ammunition to Israel in the event of a large-scale operation in Rafah. The US President acknowledged for the first time that weapons and ammunition supplied to Israel were being used to target civilians in Gaza. Specifically, he referred to the use of 2,000-pound bombs in densely populated areas.

If Israel were to enter Rafah, Biden stated that he would withhold all weapons typically utilized for such operations, including powerful air bombs and artillery shells. Although the US had already halted significant air bomb transfers to Israel, this new statement extends to ammunition shells as well. However, defensive weapons such as those for the Iron Dome will continue to be supplied to Israel.
