Biden administration issues warning to Israel on Gaza aid

Michael DiMino, a former CIA official who worked on the Middle East, argued such threats weren’t necessary to shape Israel’s policy in Gaza. “If the Biden administration wants to stop providing weapons, they could do just that. They don’t need to wind up some massive legal pretext to do so,” he said. “President Biden’s policy has been to support Israel in conducting the war, so I’m not sure I believe an arms embargo is right around the corner.”
