The Biden administration is still imposing obstacles and delays in the transfer of offensive weapons to its ally Israel in its war against its enemies in Gaza and Lebanon, Walla reported on Monday morning, quoting IDF sources.

Despite the pressure of Israeli senior diplomatic and security officials on the Biden administration, there are still difficulties described as “delays’ and even a “grey embargo.”

IDF sources said that “officials made it clear to the Israeli side that the administration is receiving criticism for American weaponry harming civilians in Lebanon and the Gaza Strip, hence the delays. They do not explain the delay in transferring 150 bulldozers to the engineering forces.”

Defense Ministry officials told Walla that the sensitive situation was brought to the attention of President-elect Donald Trump, who said he would revoke all barriers to the transfer of weapons to Israel as soon as he entered office.

Channel 12 also reported that Trump’s transition team has assured Israel that Trump will lift all delays and embargoes on arms and military equipment shipments to Israel on his very first day of office.

Meanwhile, the IDF has been forced to economize its use of arms as it engages with its enemies on seven fronts, including two active battlefronts.

It should be noted that as Biden imposes an arms embargo on Israel, the IDF has eliminated a number of terror leaders from Hezbollah and Hamas who are on the US wanted list for the murder of US citizens.

  1. the biden administration’s policies are upside down: they are embargoing israel, while lifting sanctions on iran and protecting their nuclear and oil facilities. whose interests are they serving?!

  2. “American weaponry harming civilians” how many American weaponry harmed civilians in Afghanistan by American forces and in Yemen by Saudi Arabia etc etc.
    Pure Anti-semitism in his final 2 months in office.

  3. There are no civilian casualties since the IDF has uncovered thousands of children’s sized suicide vests, which simply means every “civilian” is a potential bomb.

  4. But people still try to convince us that Biden has been Israels staunchest ally and friend. They point to the tremendous military display by the US immediately after October 7 etc. I remember when I read those articles – right here on YWN – I told my wife I’m totally unimpressed. It was all moves to CONTROL Israel. Nothing else. There was no goodwill, no great intentions. The US knew good and well that Israel had to take drastic moves, they wanted to control it all. With friends like Biden and Harris, who needs enemies?
