Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu accused Biden administration of withholding military support

Netanyahu continued to pressure U.S. for military support
White House press secretary and Secretary of State denied claims
In recent days, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has made public accusations against the Biden administration for allegedly withholding military support during Israel's ongoing conflict with Hamas in Gaza. However, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre and Secretary of State Antony Blinken have both denied these claims.
According to reports, Netanyahu claimed that the U.S. was seeking to lift restrictions on certain arms deliveries to Israel during a meeting with Blinken last week. However, the Biden administration has only paused one shipment of heavy bombs due to concerns about their use in densely populated areas.
Netanyahu's video statement, which was posted on social media, caused frustration and confusion in Washington as U.S. officials were unable to confirm what specific weapons or deliveries the Israeli prime minister was referring to.
Despite these denials from the Biden administration, Netanyahu has continued to pressure the U.S. for military support, stating that Israel needs these weapons to effectively defend itself against Hamas' attacks.
It is important to note that both sides in this conflict have been accused of human rights violations and civilian casualties during the ongoing war in Gaza. It is crucial for all parties involved to prioritize the protection of civilians and work towards a peaceful resolution to the conflict.
The White House canceled a high-level US-Israel meeting on Iran scheduled for Thursday after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu released a video claiming the US was withholding military aid.
U.S. officials were enraged by the video and U.S. envoy Amos Hochstein delivered this message to Netanyahu in person hours after it was published.
Netanyahu declared in the video that weapons and ammunitions had been withheld from Israel since the war began, but only one weapons shipment had been paused while billions of dollars worth of weapons had flowed unimpeded.
