House Speaker Mike Johnson expressed his concern regarding President Joe Biden’s recent statement, wherein he hinted at withholding U.S. weapons from Israel in case of an assault on Rafah. Johnson described it as a potential “senior moment,” feeling disillusioned by what he perceives as a breach of promises made to secure a substantial foreign aid package amounting to nearly $100 billion.
In a conversation with Politico following the rejection of an attempt to remove him from his position by House members, the Louisiana Republican highlighted his pre-existing apprehensions about the United States possibly discontinuing weapon supplies to Israel even before Biden’s declaration.
