US halts bomb shipment to Israel
The Philippine Star|May 09, 2024
WASHINGTON AFP) The United States paused a shipment of bombs to Israel last week over fears it would invade the southern Gaza city of Rafah, an official said on Tuesday, marking the first time in the conflict that US President Joe Biden has squeezed military aid to the key US ally.
US halts bomb shipment to Israel

Washington halted the load of 907 kilos of bombs and another 226 kilos after Israel had not "fully addressed" US concerns about a major ground operation, a senior administration official said.

News of the move comes as the White House blasted the "unacceptable" closure of the Rafah border crossing with Egypt after Israel sent in tanks earlier Tuesday while holding out hope for a ceasefire with Hamas.

The pausing of weapons marks the first time that Biden has acted on the warning that he gave Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in April that US policy on Gaza would depend on how Israel treated civilians.
