JERUSALEM, Israel – Israel’s Defense Minister Yoav Gallant is in Washington for talks with officials about Israel’s ongoing war in Gaza, and the prospect of opening a second full-on war with Hezbollah in the north.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu expressed his appreciation for America’s support for Israel on Sunday, but he explained his charge that the Biden administration is holding up weapons Israel desperately needs.
Netanyahu stated, “About four months ago, there was a dramatic drop in the supply of armaments arriving from the US to Israel. For weeks we asked our American friends to speed up the shipments. We did it time and time again. We did this in the upper ranks, and in all ranks – and I want to emphasize – we did it behind closed doors. All kinds of explanations, but we didn’t get one thing: the basic situation didn’t change.”
The White House continues to deny it is slow-walking the weapons shipments, but after October 7th, the administration knocked all bureaucratic barriers out of the way to fast-track weapons to Israel. That, Jerusalem claims, is no longer happening.
Before Gallant left for Washington, he announced that Israel is prepared for action, if necessary, in Gaza, Lebanon, and elsewhere.
