Biden Administration to Lift All Arms Restrictions to Israel as Hamas Rejects Ceasefire

Jun 18, 2024, 01:01 AM

The Biden administration has decided to lift all restrictions on arms deliveries to Israel. This move follows reports from N12News that Hamas has rejected a ceasefire. U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken reportedly promised Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that Washington will remove all restrictions on weapons transfers to Israel in the coming days. The lifted restrictions include those on the transfer of bombs, including 2000lb bombs, ammunition, and other arms. The decision has raised questions about the Biden administration's stance on humanitarian concerns and its commitment to drawing 'red lines' for Israel, especially in light of Israel's recent actions in invading Rafah.
