"U.S. Considers Delaying Weapon Sales to Israel Amid Political Pressure"

The Biden administration is considering using weaponry sales to Israel as leverage to pressure Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's government to scale back its military assault in the Gaza Strip. The administration is reviewing Israel's requests for weaponry and may slow or pause certain deliveries in the hope of prodding Israel to take action, such as opening humanitarian corridors. This potential shift in approach comes after weeks of failed attempts to convince Israel to change tactics in Gaza and minimize civilian casualties.
