Netanyahu again claims the US is withholding arms shipments, days after Washington denies it
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told his Cabinet that there had been a “dramatic drop” in U.S. weapons deliveries for Israel’s war effort in Gaza. With his remarks Sunday, Netanyahu doubled down on accusations that his country’s top ally, the United States, was withholding weapons shipments. That's despite denials from the Biden administration. Netanyahu said the drop in arms shipments began four months ago, without specifying which weapons. The dispute underscores the strains between Israel and Washington throughout the war in Gaza. Netanyahu’s earlier claims over the weapons last week sparked an uproar among critics in Israel and was met with denial and confusion from White House officials.
