    This article talks about standing US law as well as the Biden policy, both requiring the US to not provide arms to Israel at this point, and this is exactly why you should never buy that he can’t do anything without congress. All he needs to do is simply execute an already existing law and hes the chief executive. It quite literally is his job to no longer allow any weapons from the US into Israel.

        In all appearances a totally symbolic something with no real impact, so probably just pure public opinion management.

          Well, as we provide Israel with only around 1% of their arms imports I think that we could only ever hope to make a political statement rather than having any real impact.
