“Axios” reported, citing Israeli officials, that the United States has suspended its military supplies to the Israeli government, in what the website described as “the first such move since October last year.”

According to the website, the comment caused concern in Israeli government circles, at a time when 88 Democratic members of the US House of Representatives called on President Joe Biden last Friday to reconsider supplying Israel with weapons, unless it makes adjustments in its war on the Gaza Strip.

The lawmakers expressed grave concerns in a letter to the White House, stressing the negative impact of Israeli policies that impede humanitarian access to Gaza.

They stressed that these policies have contributed to the exacerbation of the humanitarian crisis in the region, leading to an unprecedented humanitarian catastrophe for the people of Gaza.

Israel receives $3.3 billion annually from foreign military funding programs and $500 million for research, development, and deployment of missile defense systems such as Iron Dome.
