The United States is expected to lift its hold on the shipment of ammunition and weapons designated for the IDF, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's Office said on Tuesday, just one day after the Israeli leader accused the Biden administration of preventing the delivery of those arms.

“US Ambassador to Israel Jack Lew told Prime Minister Netanyahu yesterday that the ammunition and weapons that the PM referred to are in the process of being delivered to Israel,” the PMO wrote in an English language post on X.

They only need kompromat on Biden's opponent to gain leverage on Biden in a two party system. Israeli sympathizers and other Zionists only support Democrats insofar as the GOP are technically outsiders at the moment. They already started stabbing progressive democrats in the back and will start stabbing centrists in the back closer to the election. Trump is stupid and complicit enough to nuke Gaza if that's what Nazanyahu asks him to do. Yahu has almost enough American firepower to do the same using conventional weapons. Why get his own hands dirty when he can use a crisis he controls consolidate power over the United States too? Zionism is treason

Didn’t we give them nukes a while back?

Maybe, but if Israel leads the strike, then it's Israel alone vs the world and that is pretty much their nightmare worst case scenario. They intend to use the US as their own human shields.
