Now would be a great time for him to make good on his threat and pull all US diplomatic support. I think we're still obligated to provide some military equipment because of Congressional acts, but he needs to veto any additional bills for Israel.

Leahy law forbids sending weapons when human rights violations are committed with them.

Biden is already required by law to block arms exports to israel. Stopping it is legally super duper easy

No disagreements, he should try to invoke the law. It'll end up being a long legal entanglement with Republicans, but he should still do it.

He won't bc he likes giving Israel weapons.
