Defending Israel remains of extreme importance. There is no red line where I want to completely stop arms deliveries.” and the Israelis would then no longer be “protected by the Iron Dome”. Joe Biden, however, immediately declared: “There are red lines… It’s not possible that 30,000 more Palestinians will die.”
