Netanyahu doubles down on decline in US arms shipments despite White House comments

“Certain items arrived sporadically but the munitions at large remained behind,” Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said

 

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu defended his very public dispute with the White House over a slowdown in the shipment of arms to Israel, noting that he was duty-bound to speak out about the sharp decline.

“Four months ago, there was a dramatic decrease in the munitions coming to Israel from the US,” Netanyahu said during the weekly government meeting.

He spoke as Defense Minister Yoav Gallant was in Washington, where the issue of arms is one of the topics on his agenda.

“In light of what I have heard over the past 24 hours, I hope and believe that this issue will be resolved in the near future,” Netanyahu stated.

“For long weeks, we turned to our American friends and requested that the shipments be expedited. We did this time and again. We did so at the highest levels, and at all levels, and I want to emphasize – we did so behind closed doors,” Netanyahu stated.

“We received all sorts of explanations, but one thing we did not receive; the basic situation did not change. Certain items arrived sporadically but the munitions at large remained behind,” he said.
