WhatsappIn a now widely seen CNN interview, President Joe Biden stated that “I made it clear that if they go into Rafah – they haven’t gone in Rafah yet – if they go into Rafah, I’m not supplying the weapons that have been used historically to deal with Rafah, to deal with the cities – that deal with that problem.”
“We’re going to continue to make sure Israel is secure in terms of Iron Dome and their ability to respond to attacks that came out of the Middle East recently,” he told CNN. “But it’s, it’s just wrong. We’re not going to – we’re not going to supply the weapons and artillery shells.”
Republican senators as well as pro-Israel Democrat Senator John Fetterman reacted harshly to Biden’s arms embargo against Israel, which is in essence holding up a congressionally approved deal.
Senator Lindsey Graham said the following to Secretary of Defense Austin: “If we stop weapons necessary to destroy the enemies of the State of Israel at a time of great peril, we will pay a price. This is obscene. It is absurd. Give Israel what they need to fight the war. They can’t afford to lose. This is Hiroshima and Nagasaki on steroids.”
Israel’s War Cabinet and broader more official cabinet is said to be meeting tonight at 7:30 pm to discuss how Biden’s embargo affects the war. Most members of the government have urged Prime Minister Netanyahu to remain strong and continue forward.
According journalist Amit Segal a senior Israeli government source insisted: “We have enough means to enter Rafah and conquer it without US aid. Rafah will be conquered regardless.”
So far, Israeli troops continue to move further into Rafah’s outskirts and strengthen their hold over the Philadelphi corridor and the Rafah crossing. Tunnels in the area have been inspected and are slated to be blown up. Despite claims by far left Nazi Jihadist sympathizers in American and Europe, there has been no mass killing of “civilians.”
The Biden administration appears to be determined to force Israel to capitulate - assuming that it will simply give up. Their challenge is the Jewish people don’t seem interested in marching quietly to their deaths. The IDF soldiers are prepared to go all the way as well as the vast majority of Israel’s citizens.
While it may be hard to understand how Israel will continue to fight without American resupply, Israel has been in this situation before. Before 1967, Israel did not have the types of arms pacts with America it has now – and it still prevailed. This is the land of miracles. Israel’s government may be flawed, but even they realize that the Jewish people have no other choice but to fight and defeat the Jihadist Nazis with or without America.
