      Even if he is, there’s probably a law on the books restricting what he can do towards that end, because fucking AIPAC apparently had the advance plans for how the 10/7 war would play out and slapped a shitton of barriers down on cutting aid to israel or consequencing them in any way at the peak of the “criticizing israel is antisemitism!” mindset

        Even if there’s a legal text that enforces providing aid to Israel, there’s also legal text forbidding it. If the executive can’t solve the contradiction of different laws forcing them to do one thing and its opposite, simultaneously respecting both, they’re at a position where they can choose which side they want to give priority to.
