I have not seen anyone else noting this: The weapons Biden paused (aircraft delivered bombs) are not ones used by a ground invasion, while the ones he's now approving (tank ammo, vehicles) are.
He doesn't oppose a Rafah ground invasion. He's supplying it.

Yep, Stockton Rush has essentially straight up said that this is the case. All roads lead to oil and gas.
What helped me understand the Oceangate disaster better is that the Titanic dive was probably a publicity stunt to convince oil & gas companies to buy fleets of the company's submersibles for deep-sea drilling. Essentially disposable. Ergo the sloppy ad hoc construction.

According to Oxfam, over 220 food trucks per day need to be entering just as a bare minimum. And that’s just food. 322 trucks once is a drop in the bucket compared to 6 months of starvation.

Weapons transfers typically take a long time and Rafah might be gone by the time the new deal is done. But Israel has said it already has weapons to do all it wants, so approving ground-based weapons now looks more like a wink to Israel to keep going.
