Now That Harris Has Lost, Let Israel Win

For months the Biden-Harris administration has sought to restrain Israeli military operations by blocking or delaying the delivery of weapons—far more weapons than has been reported. This policy has failed, and with the election over, it’s time to reverse it.

It is widely known that the White House has blocked the delivery of 2,000-pound MK-84 bombs to Israel, despite Congress’s approving their transfer. But Israeli officials have told us that the list of affected weapons is far more extensive. They told us that the Defense Department is slowing the delivery of thousands of 1,000-pound MK-83 bombs, 500-pound MK-82 bombs, and the Joint Direct Attack Munition kits that convert those bombs into precision-guided munitions. The State Department’s slow approval process has also stalled thousands of Hellfire missiles, tank and mortar shells and more than 100 armored bulldozers. Israel has requested expedited purchase of Apache helicopters, which the Defense Department has yet to approve.

Messrs. Makovsky and Misztal are, respectively, president and vice president of policy for the Jewish Institute for National Security of America.
