I get the strong impression that even if a lot of people on Fedi think that #Biden drawing a red line on #Rafah and pausing military aid shipments is some kind of trick, the government of #Israel doesn’t think so, and is doing the typical thing abusers do when they’re denied cooperation that they have come to take for granted: hurting the person who withdrew it from them, or at least anything close to hand.
Israeli security minister Itamar Ben-Gvir has been complaining that #Biden cares about the #Palestinians too much and has been forcing the government to hold back on killing them, etc. So now Netanyahu, Ben-Gvir, et. al. are going “withhold weapons to warn us against killing them are you? You can’t tell us what to do! We’ll kill them anyway to show you.”
