It is unfortunate that President Biden chose to announce his pause of some weapons sales to Israel while on a political campaign swing through Wisconsin...It is not Biden's temporary hold on sending Israel a fresh supply of 2,000-pound bombs...That is the real source of tension between Washington and Jerusalem today.
Netanyahu's policies have not and will not produce a sustainable victory in Gaza, cannot secure Israel against its greatest existential threat (Iran) and are endangering world Jewry and undermining America's broader Middle East strategic needs and goals.
It is a measure of the level of contempt with which Netanyahu's government views the Biden administration that Bibi's Minister of National Security, Itamar Ben-Gvir, immediately posted on X about Biden's move: Hamas – Biden. That is how Bibi's team treats the most pro-Israel president in U.S. history...
Let's assume Biden gave Israel all the 2,000-pound bombs it wanted...None of that would change the fact that Israel has no Palestinian or Arab partner to govern Gaza the next day in a way that would ensure a new Hamas would not rise from the ashes.
