Biden does not want to see the use of American weapons in a particular operation by the Israeli Defense Forces.
The cessation of supplies of American offensive weapons to Israel does not mean that Washington intends to leave the country to its fate. White House National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan emphasized this on Sunday, May 12, The Hill wrote.
Sullivan explained that tensions between the United States and Israel arose over a specific military operation in the southern Gaza city of Rafah.
“Well, firstly, because there are a million people there – in very crowded quarters, trapped there because of military operations. Therefore, there is a risk of significant civilian casualties, although Israel in this case can also eliminate a certain that number of people from Hamas” Sullivan said.
He mentioned that Biden did not want to see the use of American weapons in such an operation.
“But this does not mean that he will abandon Israel or cut it off from arms supplies. This is a specific operation that, in his opinion, will not defeat Hamas, will cause serious damage,” Sullivan said.
He added that Biden remains a supporter of Israel and has already transferred a large amount of weapons and equipment to the country to counter Hamas.
“The President has made it clear that he intends to continue giving Israel what it needs to defend itself. Period,” Sullivan said.
As you know, Joe Biden said that in the event of a full-scale attack by the IDF on the city of Rafah in the southern Gaza Strip, the United States would not provide the Israelis with weapons that could be used in such an operation.
