Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has asserted a 'dramatic drop' in US weapons deliveries meant for Israel's war efforts in Gaza, a claim the Biden administration denies, highlighting escalating tensions between the two allies.
Netanyahu informed his Cabinet that the slowdown began four months ago, although details on specific weapons were not provided. He mentioned that 'certain items arrived sporadically but the munitions at large remained behind.'
This rift, according to Netanyahu, pressured him into releasing an English video last week after weeks of failed appeals to American officials to expedite shipments. He expressed optimism that the issue may soon be resolved. The White House rebutted his assertions, emphasizing ongoing 'constructive consultations' with Israel's visiting defense minister, Yoav Gallant.
