Kash Patel, former DoD Chief of Staff, lambasted President Biden’s decision and linked it to his mishandling of the Afghanistan withdrawal. Patel expressed concern over the potential repercussions of abandoning Israel, labeling it as reckless, and voiced support for drafting impeachment articles against President Biden.
Rep. Jim Banks also criticized President Biden’s actions, accusing him of prioritizing certain voting demographics over the safety and interests of Americans and Israelis.
In contrast, some GOP members highlighted the Democratic Party’s continued support for Ukraine, despite the ongoing conflict with Russia, as evidence of neglecting the necessary aid and support for Israel.
Overall, conservative lawmakers are deeply critical of President Biden’s decision to halt weapons shipments to Israel, suggesting that it was a political ploy to regain lost support rather than an action in the best interests of America and its allies.
