Biden donors rage over his pledge to pause weapon shipments to Israel: 'Bad, bad, bad decision'

Biden megadonor Haim Saban wrote senior Biden staffers an email blasting the president for pledging to withhold bomb shipments to Israel.

Multiple prominent pro-Israel Biden donors are slamming the president for threatening to pause weapon shipments to Israel if the country invades Rafah, Hamas’ stronghold in southern Gaza.

News outlet Axios obtained an email from Israeli American Democratic megadonor Haim Saban that was sent to White House officials on Wednesday, blasting Biden for the decision. Another Democrat Party advocate, Mark Mellman, criticized the move in a statement to Axios.

"Bad, Bad, Bad, decision, on all levels, Pls reconsider," Saban’s email stated, along with the note that Biden’s position "sends a terrible message to our allies in the region and beyond."

 Biden confirmed his position in a CNN interview that aired Wednesday 8 May telling the outlet, "If they go into Rafah, I’m not supplying the weapons that have been used historically to deal with Rafah, to deal with the cities — that deal with that problem." "We’re going to continue to make sure Israel is secure in terms of Iron Dome and their ability to respond to attacks that came out of the Middle East recently," Biden told CNN. "But it’s, it’s just wrong. We’re not going to – we’re not going to supply the weapons and artillery shells."

 Some Israelis believe, in addition to a number of American politicians, that Biden is pandering to the far-left and progressive base of the Democratic Party ahead of the November election with his decision to pull the plug on weapons delivery to Israel.

Thousands of Hamas terrorists and its infamous leader, Yahya Sinwar, are holed up in Rafah — a city of over 1 million Palestinians — and the jihadi organization is using hostages, some of whom may be Americans, as human shields to deter an Israeli incursion.  Saban’s memo to Biden accused the president of abandoning the goals that the U.S. has expressed in its recent support for Israel, namely the defeat of Hamas.
