Republican leaders are firing shots at the current administration for supposedly stiffing our good friend Israel by withholding some much-needed ammunition to fight Hamas. They’re accusing President Joe Biden of playing nice with the pro-Hamas crowd instead of having Israel’s back.
GOP Accuses Biden of Withholding Arms from Israel for ‘Personal Political Gain’ – Pandering to ‘Pro-Hamas Mob’
This is 100% Biden’s “Seven Swing State Solution” It’s 100% Political ahead of the November election. Sacrifice Israel for Political Power. https://t.co/y77cPd2eNi

Word has it that the Biden administration is holding back 3,500 bombs from Israel while they’re in the middle of fighting off Hamas, a nasty terror gang that recently went on a vicious spree in October against Israel. Even Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin admitted to pausing a weapons shipment to Israel because he’s concerned about their tussle with Hamas in Rafah.
GOP folks are up in arms, saying it’s unconstitutional for Biden to stop sending weapons that Congress already said were okay. They’re also mad that there’s no proof of Israel doing anything wrong. Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell is saying it’s time for Biden to stop caving to the campus communists and give Israel the gear they need to kick out those terrorists.
Meanwhile, Senator Tom Cotton is grumbling that Biden is holding back precision-guided bombs that could cut down on innocent folks getting hurt. He’s convinced Biden’s actually rooting for Hamas to stay put. And Senator Marco Rubio isn’t holding back either – he’s convinced Biden’s making Hamas very happy with his decisions.
Other Republican voices like Senator Ted Cruz, Representative Elise Stefanik, Senator Joni Ernst, and more are all railing against Biden’s handling of the Israel situation too. They’re shouting that Biden is betraying our ally and giving Iran the go signal to mess with Israel.
It’s Senator Lindsey Graham who’s waving the red flag, pointing out that holding back the weaponry Israel needs to take down its enemies could make things worse in the long run. Even after the rough exit from Afghanistan, Graham’s warning that cutting off aid now could cost us later on.
The Republicans are not holding back on Twitter either, with lawmakers like Representative Brian Mast, Representative Mark Green, Senator Bill Hagerty, and many more blasting Biden for playing favorites with Hamas.
Not to mention, Representative Carlos Gimenez is asking why Biden is taking sides with the pro-Hamas gang. And Senator Jerry Moran is questioning if this move doesn’t just make Iran feel more confident about picking on Israel.
House Majority Leader Steve Scalise is claiming that Biden is holding back aid for Israel to keep his anti-Semitic base happy – and that’s a big no-no. The Republican message is loud and clear: Biden needs to stop coddling the radical left and start standing with our allies, no matter what.
Israeli leaders are making it clear that they won’t back down, even if other countries turn their backs on them. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the Israeli officials are determined to take down Hamas, even if it means they’re standing alone against the world.
The Jewish State isn’t messing around when it comes to fighting against Hamas, especially after the brutal attacks they faced. The Republicans are firing up their criticism of Biden’s decisions, and the message is clear: It’s time to have Israel’s back and stop playing games with our allies.
