The State Department said Tuesday that the Biden-Harris administration would not cut off weapons supplies to Israel in reaction to what it said was a declining humanitarian situation in the Gaza Strip, due to Israeli mitigation efforts.
As Breitbart News noted in October, the Biden-Harris administration threatened a partial arms embargo if Israel did not take steps to comply with its demands on humanitarian aid to Gaza, and referred to U.S. human rights laws.
The Times of Israel noted:US State Department spokesperson Vedant Patel appears to confirm a report that Joe Biden’s administration will not, for now, withhold weapons shipments to Israel, amid today’s deadline it put in place for Jerusalem to take a series of steps to improve the humanitarian crisis in Gaza.
Patel acknowledges during a press briefing that Israel addressed some, but not all, of the measures demanded by the US in the letter, which gave Jerusalem 30 days to improve the humanitarian crisis or risk being deemed out of compliance with US law that bars offensive weapons from being transferred to countries that block aid from reaching civilians.
Nonetheless, he states that the US has not, at this time, “made an assessment that the Israelis are in violation of US law.”

They no longer need to pander to the radical Left, Palestinian-loving voter block in the US.
Trump projects a Yuge force field.
It’s actually quite amazing.
Biden Admin’s big focus is how to ship arms and explosives to Hamas under the guise of humanitarian aid.
No, they don’t want their “legacy” besmirched. They don’t want anyone to ever say Biden/Democrats stiffed Israel, although that’s certainly what they have been threatening.
Trying to salvage their legacies but it won’t work. As national leaders they both suck.
I read somewhere the Cartels in Mexico have received a lot of those weapons we shipped to Israel.
They realized that they cannot get the Muslim vote by stiffing Israel so now their back to pandering to the Jewish vote.
Until next week, or tomorrow. FOS.

Jewish donors and Jewish mega-donors too. Many defected to Trump-Vance and other Republicans this November. The DemonRats want them back.
I think and hope that many are gone for good. The pro-Hamas wing of the Democrat party has driven them into the Trump/Republican camp permanently. There are so many college campuses where Jewish students are mistreated by Muslims and radical Democrats.
