In his first threat to withhold U.S. military aid, President Biden also acknowledged that American bombs used by Israel had killed civilians in the Gaza Strip.
President Biden said "I'm not supplying the weapons" for an Israeli operation in Rafah. Republicans criticized the president's decision to postpone a shipment of weapons to an American ally. The move comes amid reports that civilians were killed in earlier Israeli strikes using American bombs in Rafah. Talks continued on a cease-fire and hostage deal. NBC News' Andrea Mitchell reports.
Aid groups in the southern Gaza city of Rafah are trying to maintain services for people unable to leave amid an Israeli assault there. People who can leave Rafah are unsure where to go.
