According to reports in Axios, the United States put a hold on a shipment of U.S.-made ammunition to Israel. This is the first time since Oct 7 that America has stropped a weapon shipment to Israel. Reports suggest that this incident has left the Israeli government officials scrambling to understand why the shipment was halted. The development comes amid increasing international pressure on Netanyahu to drop his plans to invade the southernmost city of Israel i.e. Rafah and the Israeli Premier’s unwavering decision to do so.
