09 مايو 2024 - President Joe Biden recently stated that the U.S. would withhold weapons to Israel if they proceed with an invasion of Rafah. In a CNN interview, he clarified that this scenario has not occurred but cautioned against the use of U.S.-supplied arms in urban warfare.

Critics were quick to voice concerns over Biden’s remarks, citing potential threats to Israeli security. Notable figures like former Vice President Mike Pence and Senators John Fetterman and Mitt Romney voiced their strong disapproval, stressing unwavering U.S. support for Israel.

Pence labeled Biden’s approach as hypocritical, reminding the public of a past president’s impeachment related to similar issues with foreign aid. He called on Biden to stop making threats and to reinforce America’s longstanding alliance with Israel, echoing widespread conservative views.

Besides his statements about Israel, earlier this month Biden endorsed a significant aid package for Ukraine and other allies, demonstrating his ongoing commitment to global support despite facing criticism at home.
