<p>President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/joe-biden" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Joe Biden</a> is withholding some arms from <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/israel" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Israel</a> while the U.S. ally fights Iran-backed Hamas because there is political &#8220;desperation,&#8221; a top House Republican said on Sunday.</p>
<p>During an <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/video/6353232615112" target="_blank" rel="noopener">interview</a> on &#8220;Fox News Sunday,&#8221; House GOP Conference Chairwoman <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/elise-stefanik" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Elise Stefanik</a> (R-NY) said that Biden has &#8220;equivocated&#8221; on his support for Israel as he seeks re-election.</p>
<p>She alluded to <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/nearly-20-of-minnesota-democratic-primary-voters-pick-uncommitted-over-biden" target="_blank" rel="noopener">backlash</a> against Biden in states with large Muslim populations as far-Left activists encouraged voters to send a message about their dissatisfaction with the Israel-Hamas war.</p>
<p>&#8220;This is about Joe Biden’s beleaguered and failing polls in states like Michigan. There is desperation politically,&#8221; Stefanik said. &#8220;Shame on Joe Biden. It is a betrayal of the importance of the U.S.-Israel alliance, that is the most precious in the region.&#8221;</p>
<p>Earlier this month, Biden <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/cotton-accuses-biden-of-imposing-a-de-facto-arms-embargo-against-israel" target="_blank" rel="noopener">halted the delivery</a> of 3,500 large bombs to Israel in protest of a full-scale ground operation in the southern Gaza city of Rafah. House Republicans responded with legislation meant to pressure the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/biden-administration" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Biden administration</a> to provide the defense weapons to <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/israel" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Israel</a>.</p>
<p>Although Biden has threatened to veto the bill, House Republicans <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/house-passes-bill-to-stop-biden-from-withholding-arms-from-israel" target="_blank" rel="noopener">passed</a> the legislation on Thursday — with the help of <a href="https://twitter.com/AndrewSolender/status/1791217393189916997">16 Democrats</a> who broke ranks with leadership in their party.</p>
<p>Stefanik asserted Biden had betrayed the &#8220;intent&#8221; of Congress because he previously signed off on legislation passed by lawmakers that provides aid to Israel and other nations.</p>
<p><b><a href="https://onelink.to/dwapp" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" aria-describedby="sk-tooltip-9096" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://onelink.to/dwapp&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1700760801843000&amp;usg=AOvVaw2PQrVSrJfhxNb4LcARqniG">CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP</a></b></p>
<p>&#8220;It’s unacceptable. We condemn it. And we will continue to stand up when it comes to standing strong with Israel,&#8221; Stefanik said.</p>
<p>In a show of solidarity with Israel, which began a campaign in Gaza to root out Hamas after the group&#8217;s deadly terrorist attacks in October, Stefanik traveled to Jerusalem this weekend and delivered a speech.</p>
<p>&#8220;I have been clear at home and I will be clear here: There is no excuse for an American president to block aid to Israel – aid that was duly passed by the Congress,&#8221; Stefanik <a href="https://stefanik.house.gov/press-releases?ID=CF544D5C-3DC4-497D-9637-C65E9B9C0376" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told members</a> of the Israeli Knesset.</p>
<p>&#8220;There is no excuse to ease sanctions on Iran, paying a $6 billion ransom to the world’s leading state sponsor of terror, or to dither and hide while our friends fight for their lives,&#8221; she added. &#8220;No excuse. Full stop.&#8221;</p>
