Telling Israel that it can't have U.S. weapons to attack Rafah, 'the last step in the completion of their military objective,' is like blocking U.S. troops from finishing out World War II, Rep. Michael McCaul said Sunday.
Telling Israel that it can't have U.S. weapons to attack Rafah , "the last step in the completion of their military objective," is like blocking U.S. troops from finishing out World War II, Rep. Michael McCaul said Sunday.
"Now, of course, you want the conditions with humanitarian to be in place," the Texas Republican told ABC News' "This Week." McCaul also argued that the weapons Biden wants to ban Israel from using are precision-guided, meaning they would help avert civilian casualties in Rafah, where more than a million civilians have taken refuge since the beginning of the Israel-Hamas war.
However, McCaul said that it would be hard to handle an enemy like Hamas, which embeds itself with civilians, using them as human shields.
