U.S. Contemplates Weapon Sales Leverage to Encourage Israel De-escalation in Gaza:
The Biden administration is thinking about using the sale of weapons to Israel as a way to persuade Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to reduce the intensity of the military operations in Gaza, as per current and former U.S. officials. The White House has directed the Pentagon to review Israel’s weapon requests to find items that could be used as leverage, although no decisions have been made yet. Despite continuous requests from Israel for more weapons, the U.S. is considering slowing down or temporarily stopping deliveries in the hope that it encourages Israel to take steps like opening humanitarian routes for aid to Palestinian civilians, especially after previous diplomatic efforts haven’t yielded the desired results.
U.S. Considers Using Weapon Deliveries as Leverage in Israeli-Palestinian Conflict:
The U.S. is thinking about using certain weapons, like 155 mm artillery rounds and guidance kits called joint direct attack munitions (JDAMs), as a way to influence Israel’s actions. JDAMs turn regular bombs into precision-guided ones. The U.S. might continue providing other kits to make Israeli weapons more accurate. They’re not planning to slow down the delivery of defenses against air attacks but are considering holding back offensive military gear. Additionally, there’s talk about offering Israel more of the weapons they’ve asked for as a reward for taking actions the U.S. wants them to take.
Biden Administration Explores Policy Shift to Influence Israeli Actions in Gaza Conflict:
After trying for weeks, President Joe Biden and his team couldn’t convince Netanyahu and other Israeli leaders to make significant changes in their approach to Gaza and reduce harm to civilians. Now, the U.S. is considering a new strategy, moving beyond just talking behind the scenes and actually making policy changes to push Israel to take different actions.
A spokesperson from the National Security Council defended the way the administration has been handling the conflict so far. According to them, President Biden believes that the approach they’ve taken has been effective. The spokesperson emphasized that while Israel has the right to defend itself against Hamas, they should also follow international laws protecting civilians. The U.S. is committed to supporting Israel in its fight against Hamas.
Biden Administration Expresses Frustration with Israel’s Handling of Gaza Conflict:
Sources reveal that top officials in the Biden administration are getting increasingly frustrated with Israel’s apparent disregard for their pleas to be more cautious and reduce harm to Palestinian civilians. The recent deterioration of living conditions in Khan Younis has heightened this frustration. The Pentagon is also feeling the strain, and President Biden, along with other White House officials, has been privately frustrated with how Prime Minister Netanyahu is handling the conflict.
President Biden has claimed to be actively working behind the scenes to push Israel to change its military tactics. Despite some reported success, the White House admits that Israeli officials haven’t gone as far as the president would like them to.
An unnamed senior administration official expressed frustration with Israeli officials, emphasizing the need for them to be more careful in their actions.
