Former United States national security adviser Jake Sullivan has publicly shifted his stance on military support for Israel, now backing the idea of withholding weapons. Sullivan explained that the security situation in the region has changed significantly since 2024, with Israel no longer facing the same level of threats from neighboring groups and countries. He cited Israel's withdrawal from ceasefire negotiations, the ongoing famine in Gaza, and the lack of clear military objectives as reasons for his new position. This marks a notable departure from his previous role in the administration of former United States president Joe Biden, which provided substantial military aid to Israel and resisted calls to restrict weapon shipments during the conflict. Sullivan's comments reflect growing debate within the Democratic Party over United States policy toward Israel, especially in light of humanitarian concerns in Gaza.
