Republican senators have vehemently criticized President Biden after he pledged to withhold weapons from Israel if it proceeds with an invasion of Rafah. The senators have accused Biden of favoring a "Hamas victory" and being a "tool" for the Palestinian terrorist group.
Republican senators have erupted in anger over President Biden's vow to withhold weapons from Israel if it conducts an invasion of Rafah. They have vehemently accused Biden of favoring a "Hamas victory" and being a "propaganda tool" for the Palestinian terrorist group.
Senator Tom Cotton of Arkansas, speaking at a news conference, emphasized that Hamas' leaders and last four battalions are concentrated in Rafah. He stressed that Israel must defeat Hamas in Rafah to emerge victorious.
Cotton denounced Biden's threat to withhold weapons, claiming that it objectively favors a Hamas victory. He argued that Biden's actions embolden Hamas and hinder its release of hostages.
Senator Joni Ernst of Iowa labeled Biden a "tool" for his remarks, asserting that he is being exploited by Hamas and has turned his back on Israel. She emphasized that Hamas is using Biden's stance to its advantage.
Senator James Risch of Idaho expressed his concern that Biden's actions are detrimental to the national security of the United States. He highlighted that Congress passed funding for weapons sales, which were approved by key members of Congress.
Displaced Palestinians have voiced their dismay over Biden's threat to withhold weapons, feeling betrayed by the United States. Many Israelis have also expressed concern that Biden's actions will weaken Israel's position.
The White House has remained silent on the matter, despite requests for comment from Fox News Digital. Senator Lindsey Graham has announced his intention to introduce a resolution condemning any Biden administration action to withhold or restrict weapons for Israel.
Graham pointed to a covert attempt by President Biden and Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin to seize control of the war from Israel. He cautioned Israel against allowing this to happen.
The news conference was convened by Senator Graham to discuss the resolution condemning Biden's actions and demonstrated the Republican Party's unwavering support for Israel. The senators' resolute stance underscores their belief that Biden's approach is undermining Israel's security and favoring the terrorist group Hamas.
