President Joe Biden said on Wednesday that American bombs have been used by Israel to kill Palestinian civilians. 'Civilians have been killed in Gaza as a consequence of those bombs and other ways in which they go after population centers,' Biden said during a CNN interview when asked whether the 2,000-pound bombs sent to Israel have killed civilians.
The move would mark a shift in U.S. policy toward the war. NBC News previously reported that the White House halted a shipment of offensive weapons last week that included 1,800 2,000-pound bombs and 1,700 500-pound bombs, according to a senior administration official. An Israeli official told NBC News there was deep frustration in the Israeli government over the decision as Israel's military prepares to launch an expected ground offensive in the southern city in Gaza.
