Sen. Tom Cotton criticized President Joe Biden for threatening to withhold offensive weapons from Israel if it carries out a large incursion into Rafah, telling CBS News' "Face the Nation" on Sunday that " Israel 's probably doing more than any military in history to avoid civilian casualties ."
"Hamas' goal is to survive. If Israel does not go into Rafah and destroy Hamas in Rafah, Hamas will survive." Cotton added that Israel is specifically in need of the large bombs that Biden threatens to withhold, "because Hamas has tunnels ... where its leaders are holed up, deeply underground" and that the U.S. administration is "also potentially delaying the kits that allow the so-called dumb bombs to become smart precision bombs."
"Ronald Reagan knew that the pause of fighter jets would not interfere with Israel's fighting, because they had plenty of fighters. He did not pause munitions. Joe Biden is not sending munitions in the middle of a shooting war that's a war of survival."
