US will stop supplying weapons if Israel invades Rafah, Biden warns

In interview with CNN on Wednesday, US president made public warning for first time, saying: ‘It’s just wrong.’

President Joe Biden on Wednesday publicly warned Israel for the first time that the US would stop supplying it with weapons if Israeli forces make a major invasion of Rafah, a city in southern Gaza.

“I made it clear that if they go into Rafah ... I’m not supplying the weapons that have been used historically to deal with Rafah, to deal with the cities – that deal with that problem,” Biden said in an interview with CNN.
