| 48 Republican Senators Write to Biden: Lift Partial Arms Embargo Against Israel |
| 2024-08-03 |
| [Breitbart] Forty-eight members of the Republican Senate caucus signed a letter Friday to President Joe Biden demanding that he end a “partial arms embargo” against Israel, given the threats the U.S. ally is facing from Iran-backed terrorists. The letter, whose lead signatories are Sens. Tom Cotton (R-AR) and James Risch (R-ID), demands that Biden lift an arms embargo that he openly admitted he had imposed on the Jewish state in a shocking May interview with CNN. The only Senator not to sign the letter was Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY), who opposes most forms of foreign aid to anyone. According to Middle East expert Michael Doran of the Hudson Institute, the embargo consists of three forms: large bombs that have been deliberately withheld; shipments that have been approved by Congress but which the Biden administration is withholding by not informing Congress that they are ready to be shipped; and arms transactions that the Biden administration is blocking between the State of Israel and private arms manufacturers in the U.S. Biden hopes to use the partial arms embargo to prevent Israel from moving from defense to offense against terrorists. |

| #1 " ... large bombs that have been deliberately withheld;" Bunker busters? The bomb measures 20.5 feet in length and 31.5 inches in diameter, equipped with a GPS guidance system to enhance its accuracy. It carries approximately 5,300 pounds of explosives and can breach up to 200 feet of earth or 60 feet of concrete before detonation, according to official specifications. |
