    What policy change are you referring to? I didn’t see any mentioned in the article. Looks like business as usual despite the clear evidence of genocide aided by US weaponry

      This is a public signal by the State department, which has influence backed by federal law. It’s a warning that the bombs will dry up if any US arms are used in the aid of war crimes. Yes. Everyone knows that US arms have been used in Israeli war crimes. That’s the point of the message, and will have enormous shifts in foreign policy by the entirety of NATO.

      Edit: the direct answer to your question is that the US has never warned Israel like this. They have never threatened to end military aid.
