On Wednesday, May 8th, Joe Biden announced that the United States would cease supplying American ammunition to Israel if a large-scale operation were to begin in Rafah. In an interview with CNN, Biden acknowledged for the first time that weapons and ammunition provided to Israel are being used to target civilians in Gaza. Specifically, he referred to the use of 2,000-pound bombs in densely populated areas.

If Israel were to enter Rafah, Biden stated that he would withhold the weapons historically utilized for such operations, including powerful air bombs and artillery shells. The United States had already halted the transfer of significant air bombs to Israel, and this new statement extends to ammunition shells as well. Defensive weapons, such as those for the Iron Dome, will continue to be supplied to Israel.
