Pelosi has joined forces with the far-left to hopefully keep Israel from defending itself. Seven aide workers were recently killed by an Israeli drone strike in the Gaza Strip. A coalition then sent a letter to Biden and Antony Blinken to ask that a recently approved arms deal be withheld. Among those involved were 40 Democrats including squad members. It’s the latest disagreement in a series of them.
Pelosi following the power
That letter asked to have the two withhold that package and
“and any future offensive arms transfers until a full investigation into the airstrike is completed. If this strike is found to have violated U.S. or international law, we urge you to continue withholding these transfers until those responsible are held accountable. We also urge you to withhold these transfers if Israel fails to sufficiently mitigate harm to innocent civilians in Gaza, including aid workers, and if it fails to facilitate – or arbitrarily denies or restricts – the transport and delivery of humanitarian aid into Gaza.”
In addition to Pelosi’s signature, Wisconsin Rep. Mark Pocan, Massachusets Rep. Jim McGovern and Illinois Rep. Jan Schakowsky also took part. Since the original Israel attack there have been some consistent murmurs of disapproval of how the United States has been involved.
Nancy Pelosi joins call for Biden to stop transfer of US weapons to Israel.

Pelosi represented moderates
She was speaker through two different administrations so she was supposedly moderate. The party maybe lurching further to the left since she took that side.
It remains to be seen if the American people like that. Biden has threatened Netanyahu over the incident. So far it’s only a threat. No action has been taken.
Watch Pelosi
Nobody knows what the future holds. Blinken said there might be changes in policy but none were mentioned.
Biden and his administration will go where they’re dragged. It might be further left unless the American people decide against that.
