Original Note:
Missing important context: This does not mean the weapons already withheld were released; Biden stated that *offensive* munitions would be withheld if Israel invaded Rafah. Others such as JDAMs are currently slowed/under review. Defensive munitions (Iron Dome) will continue. https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/israel-due-get-billions-dollars-more-us-weapons-despite-biden-pause-2024-05-09/ https://www.reuters.com/world/biden-says-bombs-us-has-paused-sending-israel-have-killed-civilians-2024-05-08/
