State Department briefing with spokesperson Matthew Miller as US pauses shipment of bombs to Israel

As the gulf between the US and Israel widens, it has emerged the Biden administration paused a shipment of bombs to Israel last week over concerns Israel would imminently attack the southern Gaza city of Rafah.

A senior administration official said the shipment would have consisted of 1,800 2,000-pound (900kg) bombs and 1,700 500-pound (225kg) bombs.
