Biden is seen to be capitulating to terror to swing state voters and campus protesters.
Netanyahu pledged to fight Hamas with his fingernails, Biden warns he won’t send arms for use in Rafah operation, hostage talks at standstill.
Israel may be playing down the impact of the arms delay, but it is music to Hezbollah’s ears, and the Iranian axis in general.
Israelis know that withholding munitions to prevent the IDF from entering Rafah and recognizing a virtual Palestinian state will not end 76 years of Palestinian rejectionism.
The report is due in "the coming days".
Republicans come out swinging, Biden accused of bowing down to Hamas supporters. Universities may lose federal funding if they fail to protect Jewish students.
"We also honor their resilience in the face of a long and painful history of persecution," Biden said."
“Our time together yesterday was a reminder of the work we have in front of us to secure the release of all remaining hostages.”
The Israel bill totals $26.38 billion; plus funds to cover the cost of US military operations in response to recent attacks.
With Biden's rhetoric on Israel sharpening and Netanyahu on the defensive, questions are arising about the domestic factors driving a wedge between Washington and Jerusalem.
