      Tried to force. That bill was blocked by Democrats in the senate and Biden issued a veto theat to it.

      But your point still stands that Netanyahu in no way wants Biden to win this fall. He’s not coming to speak to congress and generally shit all over everything again to help Biden.

      Heck, Trump admin people are already doing Nixon style foreign policy interference with Netanyahu ahead of the election.

      Or doing it again rather.

      It has yet to pass the Senate, and Biden said he would veto it.

      Of course, Biden is still swearing to everyone that he is still sending shipments except for the one that he paused because of Rafah, and that he plans to keep doing it. And, his administration conducted an investigation which somehow managed to conclude that they “may have” been committing war crimes but that it’s not clear enough that we would have to stop shipping them weapons or anything which we would be legally obligated to do if they “conclusively” were doing anything criminal.
