After Biden threat, ADL says withholding arms from Israel ‘undermines our ally, emboldens terror’
The Anti-Defamation League releases a statement on the US administration’s decision to pause a shipment of bombs to Israel, and US President Joe Biden’s threat to hold up further transfer of weapons if the IDF enters Rafah.
“This move undermines our ally Israel, fails to put pressure on Hamas and emboldens terror while energizing Hezbollah and Iran, who specialize in toxic antisemitism and rabid anti-Zionism,” the ADL says.
The group also says that in order for the war to end, “Hamas must release the 132 hostages and disarm today.”
