Biden Halts Ammo Shipment to Israel Over Invasion Fears Since Oct 7 Attack

May 8, 2024, 03:23 AM

The Biden administration recently put a hold on a shipment of U.S.-made ammunition to Israel, according to two Israeli officials speaking to Axios. This action marks the first time since the October 7 attack that the U.S. has stopped a weapons shipment intended for the Israeli military. The decision, which has raised serious concerns within the Israeli government, is reportedly due to fears that Israel might invade Rafah, a city in Gaza, heightening tensions given the ongoing conflict in the region.
