President-elect Donald Trump promised Thursday to end all restrictions and delays on arms deliveries to Israel on his first day in office, according to Amit Segal, a reporter for Israel’s Channel 12 News and Yedioth Ahronot newspaper.
The Biden-Harris administration withheld precision bombs from Israel in May in response to Israel’s decision to enter Rafah, the southernmost city in Gaza, against the White House’s explicit demands. Israel ultimately secured Gaza’s border with Egypt and killed Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar, who had been attempting to escape through Rafah.
Though the administration later released those weapons, Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) alleged that the administration was delaying the delivery of weapons that had already been approved by Congress by failing to submit the proper notifications. Breitbart News had reported already in March that Israeli military officers believed that the U.S. was quietly withholding weapons to pressure Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to take a softer approach to defeating Hamas.
