ben rhodes, jump in here. your reaction to the u.s. halting the shipment of the weapons, including 2,000-pound bunker buster bombs. >> i don't think it should come as a surprise. i think for the last several months, president biden and the biden administration have made clear their concerns and if not outright opposition to a large-scale israeli military operation in rafah. given the fact that you have well over a million palestinians there, many of whom are civilians. yes, there's some hamas, but an enormous amount, over 600,000 children, given the near famine-like conditions that are prevailing and the reality that if you have a significant military operation that includes narrow bombardment, ground incursions, that you would have an enormous loss of civilian life. this has been building for some time, because i think what the administration has been looking for is a different plan. they sent different officials to israel to consult about what are the precautions taken? aid get in. i'm not privy to the conversations like the ambassad
