Biden says US will withhold weapons from Israel if it invades Rafah
May 8 (Reuters) - President Joe Biden on Wednesday publicly warned Israel for the first time that the U.S. would stop supplying it weapons if Israeli forces make a major invasion of Rafah, a refugee-packed city in southern Gaza.
“I made it clear that 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,” Biden said in an interview with CNN.
Biden's comments represent his strongest public language to date in his effort to deter an Israeli assault on Rafah while underscoring a growing rift between the U.S. and its strongest ally in the Middle East.
You're viewing a single thread.
The invasion is over, the IDF have bulldozed the Rafah crossing. The worst is about to begin. It's time to send American troops to Gaza, president Biden. You want my vote? Stop them.
Nah. Democrats are too bought into fear politics. Biden can do whatever you want because he knows he’ll get the anti-vote. I’m not voting for either candidate.
I just don't get the non voter. Granted I'm not a US citizen, but not voting in your election is effectively voting for fascist theocracy. Your electoral system sucks but if I could choose between having an arm or my heart removed I know what I'd choose.
they'll be a willing participant in ushering in fascism, but hey at least they'll get to be edgy in lemmy comments so that's good!!
I love how I can tell the difference between world and ml by how these comments are scored.
