Biden deliberately postponed the public announcement of his weapons embargo on Israel until he was able to first speak at the Holocaust Museum and assure Jewish audiences of his "Ironclad" "Commitment" to Israel's security.
The Biden administration had leveraged military aid to Israel to pass a much larger military aid package to Ukraine.
Biden had refused to pass the stand-alone package to Israel that Republicans had wanted.
Currently, Biden is blocking aid that predates the package.
In order to seal the deal, the Biden administration had conducted classified briefings for Speaker Johnson.
"I mean, 24 hours ago it was confirmed to me by top administration officials that the policy's very different than what he stated there. So I hope that's a senior moment." Johnson said he had been assured by Biden officials that the reports of a weapons cutoff were not accurate and did not violate his agreement with the president.
"My concern was we got word about these, you know, this shipment of munitions being delayed. And that was a great concern to us because I got commitments from top administration officials before we passed the supplemental package for the aid to Israel that that would not happen." He added that he was told "In writing and verbally" that there was "No delay in the delivery of weapons to Israel because it's so desperately needed." So the Biden administration lied.
