The White House on Tuesday issued a veto threat against a House GOP bill that would require President Biden to send offensive weapons to Israel.
Israeli solider aims their weapons during military operation in the town of Deir al-Ghusun, near the West Bank town of Tulkarem, Saturday, May 4, 2024.
The Biden administration called Mr. Calvert’s bill a “misguided reaction and deliberate distortion” of Mr. Biden’s threat to withhold arms from the Jewish state. Critics say that Mr. Biden’s decision was politically motivated and would ignore a law that he signed to send billions in aid to Israel, but the White House argued that it was done to align with the administration’s foreign policy goals.
