In a shocking announcement on Wednesday, President Joe Biden revealed his administration's intent to halt the delivery of offensive weapons to Israel. This startling decision comes amid Israel's ongoing exertion on Rafah, a city to the southern edge of the Gaza Strip, to neutralize the lingering threats of the terrorism outfit, Hamas. Biden's decision has understandably led to a chorus of objections from Republicans, a fraction of Democrats, and former President Donald Trump, his prime political adversary.

As reported by The Washington Post, a high-ranking official within the Biden administration revealed that the hold on weapons shipments is borne out of apprehensions over the consequences on civilian populations caught in the crossfire. The official expressed concerns over a potential large-scale ground operation by Israel in Rafah, a city where over a million people have taken refuge with minimal options for escape.

The official went on record to underscore apprehensions specifically related to the use of the 2,000-pound bombs and their potential destruction in densely populated city settings, as witnessed in other regions of Gaza. The White House maintains that the administration's stance is dictated by humanitarian considerations as they assess the situation in the Middle East.

Coinciding with these developments, Republicans, most notably the former President Trump, have been accusing Biden of succumbing to pressure from the far-left wing of his party. These factions of the Democratic Party have been known to advocate for a complete suspension of all US military support to Israel, a move that has been increasingly unpopular among more conservative factions.
