--- Quote ---The Biden administration last week put a hold on a shipment of U.S.-made ammunition to Israel, two Israeli officials told Axios.
Why it matters: It is the first time since the Oct. 7 attack that the U.S. has stopped a weapons shipment intended for the Israeli military.
The incident raised serious concerns inside the Israeli government and sent officials scrambling to understand why the shipment was held, Israeli officials said.
President Biden is facing sharp criticism among Americans who oppose his support of Israel. The administration in February asked Israel to provide assurances that U.S.-made weapons were being used by Israel Defense Forces in Gaza in accordance with international law. Israel provided a signed letter of assurances in March.
State of play: The Israeli officials said the ammunition shipment to Israel was stopped last week.

This article doesn’t explicitly state that the ammunition is being withheld due to Biden admin frustrations with Israeli strategy in Gaza. While that is entirely likely, there is another plausible reason for this hold: The ammo is going to Ukraine instead.

You know, Joe, when they run out of Conventional ammo, that just leaves them with nukes...

With all the times the democrats have dumped fully armed Armies of ours onto the radical muslim terrorist groups and nations, and supported Muslim aggression against the Jews and Americans, even in times of war. Odd how they find disarming the Jews and Americans a democrat fanatical agenda and never ending quest. How are so many fools utterly blind to this? Brainwashed stoogery by our media and democrat party?
Can you stooges explain it? ? ?

Yeah, there's not enough ammo to go around...the Ukrainians need it more than the Israelis do right now with the Russians starting to break through.
