Israel wants to invade Rafah, the last holdout of Hamas. But to deter the Jewish state from carrying out the operation, the Biden administration has reportedly put a hold on ammunition shipments to Israel. The move spells trouble for the future of U.S.-Israel relations and the administration’s relations with Congress.

On May 5, 2024, Axios’s Barak Ravid reported that the Biden administration “put a hold on a shipment of U.S.-made ammunition to Israel,” raising “serious concerns inside the Israeli government.” If the report is true, it is the first instance of the United States holding back arms shipments since Hamas perpetrated the Oct. 7, 2023, terrorist attack, provoking a war between Israel and the Gaza-based terrorist group.
