Aguda Finally Condemns Biden in a Public Letter

 

In a rare rebuke, Agudath Yisrael, which tends to avoid condemnation of highly-positioned politicians other than in extreme instances, slammed President Biden’s “unprecedented decision” to cease supplying certain arms to Israel.

In its scathing statement, the group said it is “deeply troubled by the White House’s unprecedented decision…especially amidst Israel’s multifront war against its mortal enemies.”

It added that some of the weapons being withheld are “exactly the tools an army needs to fight while limiting civilian casualties.”

And the Agudah accused the United States of “publicly creating a rift with Israel” and “endangering Israel and providing oxygen to antisemites worldwide.”
