    Do you understand how that works? There are exceptions specifically carved out for Israel, which require Blinken to initiate that process.

      Do you understand that Blinken is a member of the presidents cabinet and the president can fire anyone in his cabinet if they go rogue from his wishes?

        Okay, then what? Israel gets weapons from their other allies and we lose any leverage we do have. It’s almost as if this is a complex geopolitical issue, in fact so complex that “bringing peace to the West Bank” is a well established meme for an impossibly difficult task, and simple solutions have consequences not obvious to the layperson.
