What the Evidence Shows

The Biden administration, during Joe Biden's presidency (2021-2025), supplied Israel with military aid, including bombs manufactured in the United States, which were used in operations in Gaza. This is supported by multiple reports indicating that U.S.-made munitions were part of Israel's arsenal during the conflict.

However, President Biden publicly criticized Israel's 'indiscriminate bombing' and called for an immediate ceasefire to reduce civilian casualties in Gaza. He urged Prime Minister Netanyahu to end civilian suffering and at times threatened to halt or paused shipments of certain types of bombs to Israel.

Netanyahu's government continued military operations despite these pressures, leading to significant destruction in Gaza.

The claim that the 'Biden/Netanyahu administration destroyed Gaza with U.S.-made bombs' is partially accurate in that U.S. Weapons were used and destruction occurred, but it oversimplifies the complex political and military dynamics, including Biden's public calls for restraint and humanitarian concerns.

Additionally, as of August 2025, Joe Biden is no longer the sitting U.S. President; Donald Trump assumed office in January 2025. The claim references the Biden administration's actions during his term, not current policy.

In summary, while U.S.-made bombs were used by Israel in Gaza during Biden's presidency and significant destruction occurred, the statement omits the nuance of Biden's public stance against civilian harm and his administration's occasional restrictions on arms shipments.
