Politico reports that the White House will not endorse a House bill (Israel Security Assistance Support Act) designed to force the Executive Branch to send paused arms transfers to Israel within the 15 day window stipulated by the House bill markup. “We strongly, strongly oppose attempts to constrain the president’s ability to deploy a U.S. security assistance consistent with U.S. foreign policy and national security objectives,” press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre told reporters.” Read here: www.politico.com/...

Progressives have applauded POTUS’ initial decision to pause the transfer of bunker busting bombs to the Israeli regime which has launched an attack on the densely populated city of Rafah and other parts of Gaza. They urge the Government to follow through and halt more offensive weapons transfers. More Hawkish members of Congress from both parties however, are determined to excoriate POTUS for adopting a reasonable position designed to save the lives of innocent, non-combatants in Gaza. Let POTUS remain steadfast in his opposition to Congressional hawks who are determined to enable the regime of Netanyahu wipe out Gaza.
