Sen. Katie Britt (R-Montgomery) slammed President Joe Biden for withholding military aid to Israel.

This week, the Biden administration suspended the shipment of 1,800 bombs to the small Jewish Middle Eastern country. The president publicly announced the suspension during an interview with CNN's Erin Burnett.

Israel is expected to invade the Gaza Strip city of Rafah within the next few days to eliminate the last hideouts of Hamas fighters and leaders.

Britt denounced the government's decision Thursday regarding WVNN's “Yaffee Program.”

“This is a betrayal,” Britt said. “We are betraying our greatest ally, the only democracy in the Middle East. The barbarism of October 7 is still burned into my memory… Hamas says, 'We will come back again and again until the Jews are wiped out and Israel is gone.' Israel is fighting for their very existence. This is their very existence, and we should stand shoulder to shoulder with them.”

“Biden's actions are despicable.”

The senator also blasted Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer for undermining Israel's war on Gaza.

“What Chuck Schumer showed us a few weeks ago was beyond disappointing,” she said. “He walked onto the Senate floor and said his platform was about regime change in Israel. Not Iran, not Russia, not North Korea, not China. He said his platform was about regime change in the only democracy in the Middle East. He's trying to pull the strings on our greatest allies as they try to return hostages and negotiate.”

Britt also believes the president's weakness puts the hostages in greater danger.

“We have five presidents in the United States who should do everything in their power to bring them back,” she said, “and unfortunately, we're just seeing more of the weaknesses that we inherited from the Oval Office during our presidency.”

She also reminded people how horrific the October 7 attacks were and why it is so important for Israel to wipe out Hamas.

“These people are beyond evil,” she said. “They came in and killed children in front of their parents, burned parents alive in front of their children, raped women, dragged Holocaust survivors out of their wheelchairs and brought them to a desk. It's really despicable and sick.”

“I was in Israel two weeks after October 7th, and the leader of the Israeli government said to me that a lot of people are comparing this to 9/11, and they said, 'Senator, you know, this is similar to 9/11 in a lot of ways, but the difference is, when you wake up on September 12th, you can look at your children and say, the enemy is across the ocean,'” he said, “We have to look at our children and say, they're miles down the street, and they're going to come back and destroy our communities until we're all gone.”
