a senior german politician. it is the latest in a series of nationwide incidence as fears grow for the security campaigners the i'm quite richardson. thank you very much for joining us. and us official says the white house paused a shipment of arms to israel over concerned about its planned assault on rafa in southern gaza. the officials at the biden administration was worried about the use of 2000 pounds bombs in the city where more than a 1000000 ga, since our sheltering israel continues to bombard rafa. the army says it's conducting a limited operation to kill how much fighters and dismantle the groups. infrastructure as gets right across to dw is correspondent benjamin office group are in washington dc. for more on this story, benjamin tell us about what was in about weapons shipments that the west has
4:02 pm

4:03 pm
call, cuz remember and stay, president biden did not mention this decision to withhold the bombs that we're hearing now. but this was only a matter of time. the question is rather why it took so long for the united states effectively use it's leverage and not just voice criticism. width is rarely countered pods behind a close doors is rarely official says close to this weapon. so it holds to access to a you as a media it broadcast to here earlier this week, but the us officials refuse to confirm it either private here during briefings and now we're getting this information off of and us officials. so where does this then leave relations between the united states and as well? it does seem to suggest that there is quite a bit of tension going on behind the scenes. so that's right. and that the relations between both countries are really strained between both governments. a number of biden's democratic allies in congress have if a week's attempt to limit or to hold on shipments a to israel, also welcoming
4:04 pm
a this decision that we're hearing and now but a present by and had it refused to do so until now. and the fact the washington finally did so shows how the frustration is growing among administration officials that there is rarely counterparts, not hearing you as warnings against a major operation in reference to this new decision is indeed the latest sign of the growing rift in between both governments and also more pressure that washington is now putting on the government, defend you minute and yet when israel thank you for that. let us dw correspondent benjamin up at his grove and washington more than a 1000000 displaced palestinians have been sheltering. and rafa, but as well as renewed attacks and evacuation orders mean many are on the move again, the u. n. has repeated this morning. thank you man. a terry and supplies are running low. israel has taken complete control over access to gaza by seizing the roof of border crossing with egypt. make shift shelters in a sea of rubble and debris. it is fun, eunice is

4:06 pm
but they stand on a nice edge we of that to the size, the moment for the above a scene in that these valley people and for the sites of the entire region. and the agreement between the governments of israel and the sheep of moss is essential to stop the unbearable suffering of bella stevens in regards to the end of the officers. and that fabulous, almost half of causes population fled to their homes, to shelter in rough or, and now they must fully, again. but with so much of the territory and ruins many a losing hope. was one the same as me, the higher i'm tired of life because there is no life in gaza. gaza has no future. that zillow, when are our children going to learn? if the schools are closed? because it has no health facilities and no hospitalization. and what kind of life is this old eyes a now, on the negotiations in cairo,
