Biden's Threat to Cut Off Weapons Shipments to Israel
President Biden has threatened to halt weapon supplies to Israel if they conduct a full-scale assault on the city of Rafa in Gaza, where over a million people are currently sheltering. This decision stems from concerns about high civilian casualties in Rafa due to a potential ground assault by Israel.
