Republican senator Lindsay Graham has called the decision to halt arms absurd. This is all about President Biden and trying to take over the war from israel. Ive got one message for israel. Ive got one message for israel. Dont let them do it. Many democratic lawmakers have come out in support of biden s decision to halt certain munitions to israel. Heres what democratic senator and biden ally chris coons told the bbc. Of course, israel has the right but the obligation to go after hamas and Finish Thejob and the obligation to go after hamas and finish the job and restore a sense of security to the israeli people after the horrific attack of october seven.
