Former U.S. National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan, who was booted by American voters from his post along with the rest of the decreped Biden administration, said Thursday that withholding weapons from Israel is “a credible position.”
Sullivan admitted that he has been in contact with members of Congress who are weighing resolutions to restrict U.S. arms transfers, especially after the collapse of the March ceasefire.
His remarks underscore what critics call a deeply troubling legacy of the Biden administration: empowering voices in Washington that seek to undermine Israel’s ability to defend itself.
Although no longer in office, Sullivan’s framing reflects the administration’s own wavering policies that emboldened congressional attempts to condition or halt support for America’s closest and most important ally in the Middle East.
