Biden’s U-turn: U.S. Sending Israel Some Heavy Bombs That Biden Had Withheld | Trouble For Rafah?
The Biden administration has released approximately half of the shipment of heavy bombs that had been withheld from Israel since May, according to a US official speaking to The Times of Israel.
The decision to withhold the bombs was initially made due to concerns that the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) would use them in densely populated areas of Gaza, potentially causing mass-civilian casualties.
In May, the White House announced it would withhold a shipment of 1,800 2,000-pound bombs and 1,700 500-pound bombs.
President Joe Biden warned that additional offensive weaponry would be frozen if Israel launched a major military offensive in Rafah, Gaza's southernmost city, where over one million Palestinians were sheltering at the time.
President Trump commented on a purported $21 million USAID allocation to boost voter turnout in India, suggesting potential interference. He previously implied.. IndiaTimes
The U.S. Supreme Court has temporarily blocked the Trump administration’s attempt to fire whistleblower chief Hampton Dellinger. The Biden appointee will remain in his post at least until Feb. 26 as legal proceedings continue. Liberal justices opposed the firing, while conservative justices dissented, arguing the court overstepped. This marks the first Supreme Court challenge to Trump’s removals.

US President Donald Trump appears to step back from his controversial Gaza plan after Egypt and Jordan voiced strong opposition. In a Fox News interview, Trump admitted he was “a little bit surprised” by their rejection. His proposal aimed to “take over” Gaza, eliminate Hamas, and restart development under US control. However, without regional buy-in, Trump now says he will not force the plan but will “sit back and recommend it.” This shift signals potential challenges in implementing any long-term strategy for Gaza’s future governance and stability.

Hamas accuses Israel of being responsible for the deaths of the Bibas family, claiming they were killed in Israeli airstrikes weeks into the war. The militant group staged a public display before handing over the bodies of four Israeli hostages, including Shiri Bibas and her two young children. Hamas alleges that the Bibas children were held in an IDF Gaza Division office "out of compassion" before being killed. Israeli officials have strongly condemned these claims, calling them propaganda. This marks the first time Hamas has returned dead hostages since the ceasefire began.
