Biden says that Israel has used American bombs to kill civilians – NRK Urix – Foreign news and documentaries

– Civilians have been killed in Gaza as a result of the bombs, and other ways they go after places where many people stay, Joe Biden said in an interview with CNN where he was asked about the 900 kilogram bombs.

The US has already put a bomb delivery on hold, reportedly over concerns about how they would be used in densely populated urban areas such as Rafah.

The weapons delivery that was stopped should have been 1,800 bombs of 900 kilograms each, and 1,700 bombs of 225 kilograms.

AP wrote that Israel has used such bombs of 900 kilograms regularly during the seven months of attacks against the Gaza Strip.

Warns Israel to go further into Rafah

– I have made it clear that if they enter Rafah – they have not entered Rafah yet – if they enter Rafah, I will not send the weapons that have been used historically to deal with Rafah, to deal with the cities – which dealing with that problem, says Biden in the interview.

Furthermore, he added that the US “is not going to send the weapons and artillery shells”.

The move is Biden’s clearest warning to Israel yet.

Has not crossed the US “red line”

Israeli ground forces took control of the border crossing from Egypt to Rafah on the Palestinian side overnight, and the Gaza Strip is thus completely cut off from the outside world.

But Biden tells CNN that Israel has not crossed the US’s “red line” by entering the most densely populated parts of the city.

– I have made it clear to Bibi (Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, editor’s note) and the military government: They are not going to get our support, if they actually go into those population centers, says Biden.

In recent months, Rafah has housed over a million internally displaced people as a result of Israeli ground forces moving into other parts of Gaza.

Israel has announced a full-scale operation in the city, despite criticism and condemnation from many quarters.
