Biden Says US Will Stop Supplying Weapons to Israel if It Invades Rafah | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

There's frustration inside the Israeli government and disappointment over President Biden's decision to pause the shipment of thousands of bombs as Israeli forces move into Rafah. On Capitol Hill, lawmakers on both sides are speaking out. Tension is running high among Republican lawmakers. Especially after President Biden announced the major policy shift, saying the U.S. will stop supplying some weapons to Israel all together if it invades Rafah. The move has Republicans feeling deceived, because billions in aid approved by Congress is being held up. Senator Roger Marshall says, "Here's Joe Biden on Holocaust Remembrance Day saying he's standing beside the Jewish people, saying he stands beside Israel, but with his other hand he's holding weapons from going to Israel, weapons that have been ordered or paid for by Congress." Senator Josh Hawley says, "The so-called humanitarian to Gaza was seized by Hamas. So here we're giving Hamas aid, we're denying it to our ally Israel. I mean I can't figure it out." Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu insists on a Rafah offensive to destroy the last remaining stronghold of Hamas in Gaza despite repeated US warnings about the humanitarian impact on more than 1 million Gazans sheltering in the city.
