Israel. Media: The USA has suspended the shipment. “The first such case”

Axios portal, citing information from two IsraelPolish officials said that the US is not currently delivering the promised equipment to Israel.

This is the first such case from the event of October 7, 2023.

“This incident has caused serious concern in the Israeli government,” we read. The portal was unable to obtain a comment from the White House on this matter, Pentagonthe Department of State or the office of the Prime Minister of Israel.

Axios reminds that the US president Joe Biden faces sharp criticism from part of the American public in connection with his support for the authorities in Tel Aviv.

The main problem is the city of Rafah located on the border of the Strip and Israel. The Israeli army, which entered the Gaza Strip after the October attack by Palestine, fought with the Palestinian side, from the northern city of Gaza to the centrally located Khan Yunis.

The last large city is Rafah. Israeli intelligence believes that the organization's commanders are also there, and probably also the surviving hostages kidnapped from Israel in October. However, as a result of the fighting in the north, the evacuating civilian population also arrived in the city. The city, with a population of approximately 275,000 in September last year. inhabitants, may be currently home to up to 1.4 million people.

The US has emphasized several times that although Israel has their “iron” supportthey will not support the Rafah offensive unless they have a credible plan to protect civilians.

During last week's meeting between the Prime Minister of Israel and the US Secretary of State Antony Blinken, a representative of the US president, allegedly said that a major military operation in Rafah would lead to public opposition United States and will have a negative impact on US-Israel relations.

White House national security adviser Jake Sullivan said on Saturday at a conference in Washington that the Biden administration has made it clear to Israel that the way it will conduct the Rafah operation will will have an impact on US policy towards the conflict in Gaza.

Prime Minister of Israel Benjamin Netanyahu has issued several statements in recent days saying that it intends to order an offensive in Rafah regardless of Will Israel and Palestine reach an agreement?

– If we don't defend ourselves, no one will defend us. And if we have to act alone, we will be left alone, Netanyahu said.
