US Secretary of State Antony Blinken confirmed on Tuesday that there is an ongoing pause on a shipment of heavy bombs to Israel. This decision comes as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has been pressuring the Biden administration over the delay in receiving weapons.
The Biden administration is currently reviewing a shipment of 2,000-pound bombs due to concerns about their potential use in densely populated areas like Rafah. Blinken emphasized that the administration is committed to ensuring Israel has the necessary resources to defend itself effectively.
