The Israeli army seized the Rafah crossing, the main path for the insufficient aidthat still enters Gaza,andclosed it. If any US aid travels to Gaza that way, US law (as I understand it)requires cutting off military assistance to Israel. Promised new routes for aid toenter Gaza are not possible replacements for the Rafah crossing because they are notactually ready for use.

I interpret this as Netanyahu's defiance to Biden: "You weakling, I dare you to obeythat law." Since then, Biden has suspended delivery ofonekind of weapon to Israel. Maybe that was a response telling Netanyahu, "Just youwatch!" Has he found the courage to go further than that one suspension?

Let's not lose sight ofwhere we want to end up.
