Netanyahu Criticizes Biden Administration Over Weapon Shipment

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu criticized the Biden administration for withholding weapons and ammunition from Israel, describing it as 'inconceivable' for the United States to withhold military aid from its closest ally. He claimed that during his most recent visit to the Middle East, US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken assured him that the US administration is working 'day and night' to remove these 'bottlenecks.' However, the White House and Secretary Blinken denied withholding weapons, stating that only one shipment of munitions was paused due to concerns about their use in densely populated areas. They emphasized that the US remains committed to Israel's defense and that weapons are still flowing as usual.
