Jake Sullivan Backs Congressional Move to Withhold U.S. Weapons From Israel

He argues the 2024 security rationale for continued arms transfers no longer holds.

Overview

  • Sullivan called a vote to block arms for Israel a credible position and said he would support it.
  • He contrasted the current landscape with 2024, saying Israel is no longer under the same multi‑front threat from groups like Hezbollah and the Houthis.
  • He cited Israel abandoning a March ceasefire‑hostage negotiation, a famine in Gaza, and an absence of remaining military objectives as grounds to halt transfers.
  • He said he has discussed the issue with members of Congress who are considering resolutions to curb weapons shipments.
  • He warned that a continuing far‑right Israeli government would change the country’s character and should influence the U.S. relationship.
