But Biden has slowed weapon shipments to Israel

He hasn't. Netanyahu is making up shit because he can.

There have been U S. officials that confirmed this has happened though.

I'm not even arguing that it's effective, just that it happened.

He paused a shipment. Overall flow of weapons from the US to Israel hasn't changed.

More than just one, but yeah, the "overall flow" is set in law by acts of Congress, and only an act of Congress can stop that flow, not the executive branch.

I mean okay. I'm not sure how true that is, but what I'm trying to say isn't "fuck Biden"; it's "Netanyahu is making shit up".
