"US Considers Weapon Sales Slowdown to Pressure Israel Amid Conflict"

The White House is reportedly considering using weapons sales to Israel as leverage to de-escalate the Gaza conflict, while Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu claims the war is going "better than many expected." President Biden's team has directed Pentagon officials to review additional US weaponry requested by Israel, with concerns over the high civilian death toll in Gaza. Despite disagreements, both the US and Israel remain committed to supporting Israel's fight against Hamas, with ongoing negotiations over a possible hostage release deal and temporary cease-fire.
