In a letter sent to Biden, U.S. Sen. Roger Marshall (R-Kansas) is demanding answers on why the President, as media reports indicate, has delayed munition shipments to Israel. In the media, Biden has been called a ‘bait-and-switch’ trickster for delaying munitions, choosing Muslim votes over assisting our regional ally, Israel. Remember, in April Biden signed a bitterly divisive $95 billion foreign aid package which included $60 billion for Ukraine in its everlasting war with Russia. Some have challenged him with now sending that money and arms from the $26 billion allocation for Israel to Ukraine instead.
Biden used a hollow promise of aid to Israel to pull off a bait-and-switch operation, tricking many Republicans into supporting aid to Ukraine. https://t.co/g896GFKo9Y

In his letter, Sen. Marshall had several questions for Biden.
- “What is your administration’s official justification for blocking shipments of U.S.-made ammunition to Israel during the week of April 25-May?”
- “Since Oct. 7, 2023, how many aid shipments have you blocked, delayed or rerouted from reaching Israel?”
- “Did your administration reroute this ammunition shipment from Israel to Ukraine?”
- “Does your administration have future intention of blocking critical aid to Israel?”
“So Joe Biden does another bait-and-switch on us,” Marshall told show host Tony Perkins. “He tricks people into voting for his Ukraine funding and most likely he’s diverting these weapons for Israel to Ukraine.”
That military funding bill, the Senator pointed out, coincides with the IDF offensive on Rafah.
“That’s more than just a coincidence,” Marshall argued.
