    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Celebrity Michael Rapaport announced this week that he was officially “un-endorsing” U.S. President Joe Biden following an update on a pause of weapons to Israel.

    On October 7, the Palestinian militant group Hamas launched an attack on southern Israel, killing 1,200 people and taking over 200 hostages.

    The comments by Rapaport come shortly after Biden confirmed reports that the U.S. was pausing a shipment of weapons to Israel amid their ongoing war and an offensive operation in the city of Rafah.

    U.S. Defense Department Secretary Lloyd Austin also confirmed the U.S. was pausing “one shipment of high payload munitions” while speaking to the Senate Appropriations Committee.

    Several U.S. lawmakers criticized the Biden administration for pausing a shipment of weapons, such as House GOP Conference Chair Elise Stefanik.

    “Congress passed supplemental funding and military aid to Israel and it is outrageous and is not complying with congressional intent, the fact that the Biden administration is holding these back.”
