Nor is it the first time that Washington has used the supply of arms to try to pressure the Jewish state to bend to its will. But there is no precedent for what President Joe Biden has just done.

JNS Netanyahu: ‘If necessary, we will fight with our fingernails’ Jerusalem will win the war against Hamas in the Gaza Strip with its fingernails, if necessary, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed on Thursday night, a day after U.S. President Joe Biden said he would cut arms supplies to the Jewish state if Israel launched a major attack in Rafah. “If we need to stand alone, we will stand alone,” he stated. “But we have much more than fingernails, and with that same strength of spirit, with God’s help, together we will win.” The premier noted that Israel will celebrate its Independence Day on Tuesday, per the Hebrew calendar.

ASSOCIATED PRESS US paused bomb shipment to Israel to signal concerns over Rafah invasion, official says The U.S. paused a shipment of bombs to Israel last week over concerns that Israel was approaching a decision on launching a full-scale assault on the southern Gaza city of Rafah against the wishes of the U.S., a senior administration official said Tuesday. The shipment was supposed to consist of 1,800 2,000-pound (900-kilogram) bombs and 1,700 500-pound (225-kilogram) bombs…with the focus of U.S. concern being the larger explosives and how they could be used in a dense urban setting.

TIMES OF ISRAEL GOP senator calls for Biden’s impeachment over holdup on arms shipments to Israel Republican Senator Tom Cotton from Arkansas calls on X for the impeachment of US President Joe Biden over withholding arms from Israel “to help with reelection.” He points to the Democrat-led impeachment of former president Donald Trump in 2019, in which Trump is accused of withholding aid to Ukraine to pressure Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to cooperate with his campaign against Biden. “Only with Biden, it’s true,” writes Cotton.
