The White House confirmed on Sunday that there has been no change in its Israel policy despite a report by NBC News suggesting that the US was considering leveraging weapon sales to Israel in order to persuade its government to reduce its military assault in Gaza. According to sources, the Pentagon has been reviewing the types of weaponry that Israel has requested, which could be potentially withheld or delayed as leverage. The report mentioned that the US is hoping that by doing so, the Israeli government will take certain actions such as opening humanitarian corridors. Among the weaponry mentioned for potential leverage were 155 mm artillery rounds and joint direct attack munitions, which are guidance kits that can transform basic bombs into precision-guided munitions.
