The protests inside the country, as well as appeals from human rights organizations, created significant pressure on the administration of President Joe Biden, which led to the freezing of exports. Public reaction Protests broke out inside the United States against the transfer of heavy equipment that can be used to destroy residential buildings in the conflict zone. Opponents of the supply claim that the use of these machines contributes to the aggravation of the humanitarian crisis in the region.
