Biden truer med at stoppe våbenleverancer til Israel: Israel reagerer vredt

conflict resolution - Eurovision - Hamas - Israel - Joe Biden - Rafah invasion - US-Israel relations - weapons delivery

Præsident Biden truer med at stoppe våbenleverancer til Israel, hvilket får Israel til at reagere med en blanding af bekymring og vrede. Læs historien her!

Præsident Joe Bidens trussel om at stoppe våbenleverancer til Israel har sendt chokbølger gennem USA. Israels forhold til USA er på vippen, og selv Bidens stærke støtte kan nå sine grænser. Samtidig har Israel reageret med raseri på truslen om at skære af i våbenleverancer som svar på invasionen af Rafah. Israels premierminister, Benjamin Netanyahu, afviser Bidens advarsler og fastholder landets handlinger.

Samtidig protesterer tusindvis af mennesker i Malmo, Sverige, imod Israels deltagelse i Eurovision. Klimaaktivisten Greta Thunberg støtter op om pro-Palestina-demonstrationerne, der har fået opmærksomhed fra hele verden. Mens Israel siger, de vil stå alene og kæmpe med negle, hvis våbenforsyninger stoppes, er spændingerne mellem Israel og USA uundgåelige.

Biden's kontroversielle udmelding markerer en betydelig vending i de internationale relationer. Israels militære styrke står over for usikkerhed, og Bidens trussel om våbenstop skaber frygt for landets beredskab. Trods billioner af dollars værdi af våben, der stadig venter på levering til Israel, står spørgsmålene om alliance og politisk støtte i fokus.
