The Israeli military announced a “tactical pause” to allow aid to enter into Gaza. Many children in Gaza are dying of starvation and desperate for food. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called the move 'unacceptable.'
The United States says it has no idea what the Israeli prime minister is talking about. The Biden administration on Tuesday rejected Benjamin Netanyahu's accusation that Washington had been 'withholding weapons and ammunitions' from its close ally over the 'past few months.' The Israeli leader implied that this was hampering his military's ongoing offensive in Gaza, now focused on the southern city of Rafah. 'We genuinely do not know what he is talking about.
Blinken noted there had been 'one case,' which NBC News reported on in May, in which the U.S. halted a large shipment of offensive weapons to Israel in a sign of its growing concern over Israel's plans to launch a military offensive in Rafah. At the time, President Joe Biden threatened that the U.S. would halt shipments of certain arms if Israel moved forward with a full-scale assault in Rafah, the city in southern Gaza once considered a safe zone.
