White House Rebuts Netanyahu's Claim on U.S. Weapon Supply

The White House on Thursday disputed Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's remarks about the U.S. withholding weapons from Israel. Netanyahu claimed he had raised the issue with U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken. White House spokesman John Kirby expressed disappointment, emphasizing the significant support the U.S. provides to Israel.

The White House on Thursday said that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's comments on the U.S.-supplied weapons was "incorrect."

Netanyahu on Tuesday said he told U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken that it was "inconceivable" that in the past few months Washington was "withholding weapons and ammunitions" to Israel.

"It was perplexing to say the least, certainly disappointing, especially given that no other country is doing more to help Israel defend itself against the threat by Hamas," White House spokesman John Kirby told reporters.
