Breitbart News’ Joel Pollak requested Israeli authorities spokesman Avi Hyman on Wednesday if Israel believed that U.S. President Joe Biden’s risk to cease weapons shipments met the dictionary definition of the phrase “treachery.”
Pollak’s query got here amid reviews that the Biden administration had withheld a big cargo of bombs in an effort to discourage Israel from attacking the final Hamas battalions in Rafah, within the southern Gaza Strip.
The following trade ensued:
POLLAK (by way of moderator): One Israeli analyst described the Biden administration’s withholding of munitions from Israel by saying that the Biden administration is tying Israel’s fingers and stopping it from defeating Hamas. Do you agree?
HYMAN: Joel, thanks very a lot for the query. I’ve clearly seen these reviews, reviews popping out from unnamed sources on the American facet. I can refer you to statements made this morning by the IDF Chief of Staff. I may refer you again to the Americans in the event that they, certainly, have or are making these statements. I personally, because the Israeli authorities, don’t have something so as to add on these reviews.
POLLAK (by way of moderator): The dictionary defines the phrase “treachery” as a “violation of allegiance of faith or confidence.” Would you describe the withholding of arms in wartime, from an ally, as a kind of treachery?
HYMAN: Joel, once more, I respect that was the identical query, requested differently. My response stays the identical.
Later within the day, Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin confirmed the reviews, and Biden expanded the risk to incorporate artillery rounds.
