The United States’ decision to suspend bomb shipments to Israel sends a clear message to Jerusalem. SkyNews correspondent Alistair Buncall points out that this action expresses “disappointment and irritation” on the part of the US administration. Israel, in turn, says it is not overly concerned about the decision, but it is very dependent on military support from the United States.
The move, Bankall said, is clearly aimed at sending a signal. It reflects White House concerns about a full-scale invasion of Rafah, which has not yet occurred but remains a possibility in the future. The United States, in turn, expresses its dissatisfaction with this prospect and raises the issue to a new level.
Bankall notes that the Americans are not just sending a signal, but also understand that international lawyers are closely monitoring the situation. The US does not want its weapons to be used in circumstances that could “violate international law” and is therefore taking such steps.
Israel needs American bombs because they allow it to carry out precision operations to destroy the infrastructure of the terrorist group Hamas. However, Americans are unhappy at the prospect that these weapons could be used by Israeli troops during the Rafah operation, which Washington is desperately trying to prevent.
