Washington: The differences between America and Israel are now visible on the surface. America had already expressed concern about the Israeli attack on Rafah city. Now America has taken a big step and stopped the supply of ammunition to Israel. A senior official has given information about this. On condition of anonymity, the official said that 1800 bombs weighing 2000 pounds (900 kg) and 1700 bombs weighing 500 pounds (225 kg) were to be sent in the consignment. The official said the US has expressed concern that such a large quantity of explosives could be used in a densely populated area.
Hamas attacked
Israel was attacked by the terrorist organization Hamas on October 7 last year. In response, Israel started attacking the Gaza Strip. More than 1 million people have taken refuge in Rafah amid the war. In such a situation, if Israel attacks Rafah using large quantities of explosives, a large number of civilians may lose their lives.
America helped
America has provided a huge amount of military aid to Israel amid the war with Hamas. But now the blocking of the ammunition consignment has further exposed the growing standoff between Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government and US President Joe Biden’s administration. Biden had called on Israel to take more appropriate steps to protect innocent civilians in Gaza.
This is the reason for the deadlock
Despite objections lodged by the White House, the Israeli government has been preparing for an attack on Rafah. After this, in April, the administration of US President Joe Biden started reviewing sending military aid to Israel in the future. The official said the decision to stop the supply of the ammunition consignment was taken last week and no decision has been taken on whether the consignment will be sent to Israel in the near future.
