‘Stop it now’: Joe Biden gets stern warning from wife Jill as US authorises more bombs for Israel

s US President Joe Biden continues to receive backlash over his handling of the Gaza crisis, US First Lady Jill Biden issued a "no-nonsense" warning to the POTUS.

The warning comes amidst the report that the Biden administration has authorised to hand over 1,000 500-pound bombs and more than 1,000 small-diameter bombs to Israel, sources familiar with the matter told CNN.

When and where was the warning issued?

According to The Mirror, Jill issued the warning on Tuesday night during a Ramadan gathering at the White House with Muslim community members. During the dinner, a guest confronted Biden, saying that his wife had denied him attending the meeting due to the president's support for Israel.

In response, Biden stated that he understood because his own wife, Jill, had put pressure on him over the matter. A witness who heard Biden stated that he took notes since they were taken surprised by the First Lady's staunch position on the issue.
