Israel fumes as Biden signals a harder line against a Rafah ground assault.

Israel reacted with a mix of concern and fury Thursday to President Joe Biden's warning that he would cut off weapons to the U.S. ally's military if it moves forward with a full-scale assault on Rafah, the city in southern Gaza where more than 1 million Palestinians are sheltering.
The threat, which marked a shift in Washington's public approach to the war, came after the Biden administration halted a shipment of bombs last week amid concerns over Israel's plans to invade Rafah even as cease-fire talks continue with Hamas. The U.S. has long supplied weapons to Israel, and Biden's warning follows months of growing tensions between the two countries and as the president faces domestic pressure to take a harder line on the war.
Israeli officials appeared in little doubt that the fallout could have far-reaching consequences.
The country’s ambassador to the United Nations, Gilad Erdan, said the U.S. pause was “a very disappointing decision, even frustrating.” He suggested in an interview with Israeli Channel 12 TV news that the move stemmed from pressure Biden felt from both Congress and U.S. college campus protests.
“Israel will continue to fight Hamas until its destruction,” Israeli Foreign Affairs Minister Israel Katz said on X in an apparent response to Biden's threat. “There is no just war like this one.”
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu refrained from directly commenting on Biden's remarks, but on Thursday afternoon, he reposted a video on X from a speech he delivered earlier this week saying: "If Israel is forced to stand alone, Israel will stand alone."
Members of his far-right government were quick to express their outrage over the threat.
Right-wing National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir issued a short but scathing response in a post on X. “Hamas ?? Biden,” he said. His office did not immediately respond to a request for further comment from NBC News.

It really is a genius move to not deliver precision weaponry that limits civilian casualties to kill terrorists while incentivizing terrorists groups to capture and kill hostages while extending the war he wants to end all so he can bump his chest to a bunch of retarded 20 year olds that won't even vote for him.

Carpet bomb the city with gravity bombs. Kill as many of the enemy as possible. Blame it on Biden.

The child is mad because daddy won't let him take the car to do hoodrat things with his friends.

Why can't Israel make their own bombs from all the Intel they have stolen?
They should be rich enough to not need anything else from us.

The Manhattan Jews who lamented our involvement in Middle Eastern wars will be furious that their most favored country can't do the same thing they hated America for doing.
