Billions of dollars in US weaponry remain in the pipeline for Israel despite the delay of one shipment of bombs and a review of others by US President Joe Biden’s administration amid concerns that their use in an attack could cause more destruction among Palestinian citizens.
A senior US official said this week that the administration has reviewed the supply of weapons that Israel could use for a major invasion of Rafah, a southern city in the Gaza Strip where more than 1 million civilians have taken refuge, and as a result a shipping has stopped. of bombs to Israel.
Washington has long urged Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government not to invade Rafah without protecting civilians as a war that has devastated Gaza has raged for seven months.
