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.

Well lets just hope it is not an empty warning and that they follow through with action ... quickly. Israel has grown used to being patted on the head for all its atrocities over the decades. I doubt they will back off with just a warning.

Alright I get that.. but that’s not a policy change.. maybe seems pedantic but a policy change is a codified change in institutional behavior. That’s quite different from a warning or public signal
