Washington: After the Israeli army established control over Rafah, the most important city of Gaza, the fear of attack here has also increased. The Israeli army can also launch attacks ignoring the suggestions of its allies. In such a situation, America has taken a big step against Israel. This may shock Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu. Let us tell you that America has stopped the consignment of bombs being sent to Israel last week to express concern over Israel’s decision to launch a large-scale attack on Gaza’s Rafah city against its wishes.
A senior official gave this information on Tuesday. On condition of anonymity, the official said that 1800 bombs weighing 2000 pounds and 1700 bombs weighing 500 pounds were to be sent in the consignment. The official said the US has expressed concern over how such a large quantity of explosives could be used in a densely populated area. More than 1 million civilians have taken refuge in Rafah since Israel launched an attack on the Gaza Strip in response to a deadly attack on Israel by extremist Hamas on October 7 last year.
Despite America’s objection, Israel prepared to attack Rafah
Despite months of objections from the White House, the Israeli government continued to prepare for an attack on Rafah, after which in April the administration of US President Joe Biden began reviewing sending future military aid to Israel. The official said the decision to stop the bomb consignment was taken last week and no decision has been taken on whether the consignment will be sent to Israel in the near future. (AP)
