The American website "Axios" reported today, Sunday, that Washington has suspended a shipment of ammunition to Israel. According to two Israeli officials, the Biden administration halted a shipment of American-made ammunition to Israel last week. This is the first time since the October 7 attack that the United States has stopped a shipment of arms destined for the Israeli military.
Israeli officials stated that the incident has raised serious concerns within the Israeli government, with questions arising about the reasons behind this American decision. In February, the U.S. administration requested Israel to provide guarantees that American-made weapons would be used by Israeli forces in Gaza in accordance with international law, and Israel submitted a signed letter of guarantees in March.
So far, the U.S. Department of Defense and the office of the Israeli Prime Minister have not commented on the information published by "Axios." Recently, Benjamin Netanyahu made several statements indicating his intention to carry out a military operation in Rafah, Gaza, regardless of whether Israel and Hamas had reached a "ceasefire," hinting at tensions with the Biden administration, which has expressed reservations about the potential military operation.
