That’s even more complicated than I thought it was. I’m not happy about it either, but I’m also not a protest voter, so I’d have voted for Biden either way.
Yet other American weapons continue to move through the approval process unabated. That includes a potential $1 billion tranche containing tank ammunition, tactical vehicles and mortar rounds that the administration reported to Congress on Tuesday. Biden also made clear the U.S. will continue to provide defensive weapons, including interceptors for its Iron Dome air defense system.

Legally, the U.S. can’t cut Israel off completely. Since 2008, the U.S. has had to weigh all arms sales to Israel and other countries in the region against the requirement that Israel maintains a “qualitative military edge” against all enemies, both state and non-state actors.
This is absolutely untrue. As Israel is in violation of international law, they are no longer eligible to receive foreign aid. The US response to the ICJ’s findings has been to condemn the court and threaten its members. That’s about as legal as Trump threatening the members of the SDNY over his hush money prosecution.
“Biden” doesn’t have a choice. If you knew US foreign policy, you’d know that.
He is compelled by law to halt military aid to Israel and he is refusing to abide by the ICJ.
You—like many Americans—seem to have this idea that the president is all-powerful.
This is the Unitary Executive Theory, and it isn’t a problem of me holding it as an idea. The problem is Presidents enacting it unchallenged by either the US legislature or the courts.

He threatened to, but he did not.
Biden continuing to supply weapons to Israel in defiance of the ICJ ruling is indisputable.
