    Because Iran is a Russian ally and Russian proxy.

    Yes, but why does that mean stopping US weapons shipments to Israel would cause Iran to invade/attack/etc? Israel has a huge weapons stockpile and is still a Western ally - they just happen to be committing genocide with American funds and bombs.

    Where in the world are you getting the idea that he’s literally “threatening” either?

    “The administration of President Joe Biden will work with Congress on possible sanctions against the International Criminal Court after its prosecutor announced it was seeking arrest warrants for senior Israeli and Hamas officials, US secretary of state Antony Blinken said on Tuesday.”

    we temporarily halted shipments earlier this month to put pressure on Netanyahu

    We resumed those shipments and funds, and Israel has since crossed Biden’s red line and attacked Rafah

    Netanyahu’s interests may align with Putin

    Netanyahu/Likud are dictators who control Israel. Until he/they are removed, their interests are Israel’s interests. Which means that Israel is a Russian asset with a stranglehold on American funds thanks to AIPAC
