The US and Israel have both said it was a logistical problem, not a political or legal problem. CNN
Of course you found the absolute worst take that had no real information and all of the conjecture.
It was the only article released at the time I posted it. Every other article I could find cited it as the source. That’s so discouraging. I really thought there was hesitation in supply.
It turns out it was in fact withheld due to the pending Rafah attack.

Well shit. I apologize. But now you've got officials saying one thing and then the other. This is usually what we get with the GOP in the white house.
No apology needed. At first it was only that Axios article, without a named source. Then the CNN article stated that the reasons were unconfirmed. This is the first article citing White House officials, and it’s still not a direct communication.
At this point I’d like to hear of an official change in stance, or at least formal condemnation of the Rafah attack, before being certain that this indicates change.
