Netanyahu Claims US Arms Delay Amid Gaza War Strains

Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu claims a significant drop in US weapons deliveries for the Gaza war, contradicting denials by the Biden administration. This dispute underscores growing tensions between the nations, with Netanyahu pushing for faster shipments amid rising civilian casualties and political scrutiny.

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.
