Artificial intelligence commentary on cited information:

The U.S. President Joe Biden has warned Israel that America would withhold certain weapons required for a large-scale military offensive in Rafah, situated in the Gaza Strip's south. This statement came in response to Israeli troops advancing into parts of Rafah and taking control of a border crossing on the Palestinian side. The offensive led by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu aims to rescue hostages and dismantle Hamas, deemed as the last stronghold in Gaza. Despite ongoing negotiations for a ceasefire and threats of international criticism, Israel remains steadfast in its offensive plans.

Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin confirmed that due to Israel's actions in Rafah, the U.S. has already suspended a shipment of munitions to the Israeli forces. The suspended delivery includes bombs that, according to Biden, have caused civilian deaths in Gaza. Biden emphasized to Netanyahu that the U.S. would not support actions that invade Gazan population centers, marking it as a red line that was communicated to Israel earlier. Despite the suspension of bomb deliveries, the U.S. will continue to support the defense of Israel with supplies like the Iron Dome missile defense system and other defense weapons.
