Israel says the success of its war against Hamas terrorists is at risk as the Biden administration is “slow” to provide urgently needed military aid, including ammunition, an ABC News report said on Thursday. thinking.
ABC report:
Israeli officials say the United States is starting to ease some military aid to Israel, a claim they deny, further adding to the increasingly strained alliance between the two countries. You could say it’s proof.
…
A senior Israeli official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said U.S. military aid shipments “were coming very quickly” at the beginning of the Israel-Hamas war, but “we’re now finding that they’re coming very slowly.” Put pressure on Israel to destroy the terrorist organization Hamas in the Gaza Strip.
…
Israeli officials say supplies of 155mm artillery shells and 120mm tank shells are becoming increasingly scarce. The United States supplies similar ammunition to Ukraine, which also reports a shortage of 155mm shells in particular.
The official told ABC that Israel was concerned that “we could lose this war” due to ammunition delays.
Although denied by the Biden administration, the delay could be a way to prevent Israel from attacking Hamas’ last stronghold in the town of Rafah in the southern Gaza Strip. President Joe Biden has opposed such attacks, at least until there is an evacuation plan for Palestinian civilians.
The postponement comes after Israel fired a series of shots into communities near the border in a show of solidarity with Hamas terrorists in the Gaza Strip, forcing the evacuation of towns in northern Israel. It could also be a way to dissuade Hezbollah from attacking it.
The Biden administration is under pressure from left-wing Democrats to call for a ceasefire in the conflict and halt U.S. arms deliveries to Israel. The administration may be delaying aid as a gesture to activists.
The Israelis are determined to win the war. Columnist Caroline Glick, who has long advocated for returning Israeli arms production from the United States to Israel, said: Said If requested, “50,000” Israeli volunteers would appear to manufacture weapons.
