The White House has refuted Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's accusation that the US is withholding military support from Israel during the conflict with Hamas in Gaza. During Secretary of State Antony Blinken's recent visit to Israel, Netanyahu expressed his gratitude for the help the US has provided Israel with since the start of the conflict. He compared the administration's decision to deny Israel arms and ammunition to former British Prime Minister Winston Churchill, who guided his nation to triumph over Nazi Germany.
The White House refuted Netanyahu's remarks, stating that they had no notion of what he was alluding to. Blinken stated that the rest of the situation is happening according to schedule. Blinken also refuted Netanyahu's remarks made at a news appearance with NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg, stating that they are still reviewing one shipment of 2,000-pound bombs that President Joe Biden mentioned.
Biden delayed a shipment of 3,500 bombs to Israel in May to prevent American-made weaponry from being used in a full-scale assault on Rafah. He stated that he would not provide the weapons used in the past to deal with Rafah, cities, or the issue. The Biden administration is dedicated to Israel's defense, but it has made it clear that it would not support an assault into Rafah without a solid strategy in place to safeguard civilians.
