Biden administration discussing slowing some weaponry deliveries to Israel to pressure Netanyahu

U.S. officials are considering pausing or slowing some arms shipments to Israel to convince the government to heed U.S. calls to scale back its military assault in Gaza.

Administration officials have also discussed offering the Israeli government more of the weaponry it has requested as an incentive to take some steps that the U.S. has requested, officials said.

    This reminds me of Biden's 2021 moronic "negotiations" with Sinema and Manchin who never act in good faith. He gave away the store and threw away his leverage. Then he asked them meekly if they'd do what he liked.

    That won't work. In fact - it's guaranteed to fail.

    Three U.S. officials with direct knowledge of the issue told me there was no direction from the White House to review or slow-walk weapons supply to Israel. Two of the officials told me there are some people in the administration who would like this to be true, but it isn't.
