Biden Pauses Delivery of 2,000-lb Bombs Amid Rafah Warnings

The Biden administration pauses a shipment of 1,800 MK-84 2,000-pound bombs and 1,700 MK-82 500-pound bombs to Israel, the first time the US withholds weapons from Israel since the October 7 attack. The decision comes as Israel prepares a major Rafah operation. Israel condemns the move as 'inconceivable.' The pause is limited and temporary; other arms continue flowing. It marks a high point of US-Israel friction over civilian casualties.
