Read previewAhead of Israel's assault on Rafah, President Joe Biden issued several stark warnings to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
A $1 billion arms dealThe statement suggests Biden will continue to move forward with a $1 billion weapons package to Israel.
As BI previously reported, the weapons deal could be seen as an attempt to heal Biden's relationship with Netanyahu and to halt accusations that the US is emboldening Iran.
For instance, Biden previously withheld a shipment of bombs before announcing that the planned weapons deal would go ahead.
