According to the report, media reports suggest that the US will still send weapons to Israel, despite President Joe Biden’s threats to stop the supply of ammunition. We are talking about the supply of 1-ton bombs.
Israeli media write about this.
According to information received from various sources in Israel, the media writes that the United States will continue to supply weapons to Israel, despite President Joe Biden’s threats to stop supplies. However, according to Israeli officials who preferred to remain anonymous, the use of the supplied weapons during the operation in Rafah will be prohibited until the evacuation of the local population is completed. This information is based on conversations with American representatives.
The media pay attention to the statement of John Kirby, spokesman for the US National Security Council, made on May 10, 2024.
Kirby recalled that Biden expressed his readiness to assist Israel in the defense of its territory. He stressed that the United States has never denied Israel’s right to self-defense and to eliminate the threat from Hamas militants in Rafah. Kirby also stressed the importance of keeping Israel’s actions in line with international norms, but also supported the state’s right to defend itself against the threat of genocide posed by Hamas.
Earlier, Kursor reported that Biden responded to Israel’s assurances about the legal use of American weapons. Biden’s report said Israel’s promises about the legal use of American weapons were credible, but it was “reasonable” to judge them differently.
