  17.      <title>Israel seized control of the Rafah border crossing. The impact could be devastating</title>
  18.      <description>The Biden administration has put a hold on an arms shipment to Israel.  A senior administration official speaking on the condition of anonymity told NPR it was due to concerns the bombs could be used in Rafah.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Rafah is the site of Israel&apos;s latest campaign in its war against Hamas.  It&apos;s also home to some 1.3 million Palestinians. More than half of those people have fled fighting in other parts of Gaza.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;On Monday night, Israeli tanks rolled into Rafah taking control of the Palestinian side of the border crossing with Egypt.  &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The seizure of the border crossing cuts a key supply line for humanitarian aid. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Israel says its incursion in Rafah is a &quot;precise counterterrorism operation.&quot; But possible further military action along with the closed border crossing could exacerbate a humanitarian catastrophe.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;For sponsor-free episodes of Consider This, sign up for Consider This+ via Apple Podcasts or at &lt;a href=&quot;http://plus.npr.org/&quot;&gt;plus.npr.org&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Email us at &lt;a href=&quot;mailto:considerthis@npr.org&quot;&gt;considerthis@npr.org&lt;/a&gt;.</description>
