Biden Faces Blowback from Democrats over Israel Weapons Pause
(Axios) Andrew Solender - President Biden is facing unusually harsh criticism from some Democratic lawmakers for pausing shipments of weapons to Israel. Rep. Ritchie Torres (D-NY) said the move "makes a mockery of our credibility as an ally." Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pa.) said: "I strenuously disagree....We have to stand with our key ally throughout all of this." Rep. Lois Frankel (D-Fla.) said that Israel is "surrounded by danger, they need the tools to defend themselves." Rep. Jared Moskowitz (D-Fla.) said, "Hamas is also getting the message...and that means the war is going to go on."
