Blinken insists US sending weapons to Israel ‘normally’ after Netanyahu criticism

Secretary of State Antony Blinken said U.S. military assistance to Israel is “moving as it normally would” aside from one delayed shipment of bombs, after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu accused the Biden administration of withholding weapons.

Netanyahu had earlier slammed the Biden administration in a video posted on X Tuesday morning directly addressing Blinken.

“It is inconceivable that in the past few months, the administration has been withholding weapons and ammunitions to Israel,” Netanyahu said, speaking in English.

“Secretary Blinken assured me that the administration is working day and night to remove these bottlenecks,” he added. “I certainly hope that’s the case. It should be the case.”
