US pauses ammunition shipment to Israel for first time since Oct 7: reports

The Biden administration paused a shipment of US-made ammunition to Israel last week amid Israel’s ongoing attack on Gaza, though reasons were unclear. This marks the first time since Hamas’s October 7 attack that the US has stopped weapons shipment to Israel. While Israeli officials expressed concerns, the US stated it has provided billions in security aid to Israel and will continue ensuring Israel can defend itself, amid mounting pressure over support for Israel’s campaign against Palestinians in Gaza.
