The Biden administration put a hold on a shipment of American-made ammunition to Israel last week amid concerns over an Israel i invasion of the Gaza n city of Rafah , where more than a million Palestinian refugees are taking shelter, according to two Israel i officials.
However, Biden is facing criticism over his support of Israel's actions in Gaza, and the administration asked in February that the Israeli military show proof that U.S.-made weapons are being used in accordance with international law. Israel signed a letter of its assurances in March. "In the terrible Holocaust, there were great world leaders who stood by idly; therefore, the first lesson of the Holocaust is: If we do not defend ourselves, nobody will defend us. And if we need to stand alone, we will stand alone," he commented.
Thursday, White House spokesman John Kirby told reporters that Israeli leaders know that Biden is "sincere" about changing policy about the war in Gaza if the ground operation "doesn't take into account the refugees."
