U.S. says it doesn't know what Netanyahu is talking about after he attacks Biden for 'withholding weapons'

The United States says it has no idea what the Israeli prime minister is talking about.

The Biden administration on Tuesday rejected Benjamin Netanyahu's accusation that Washington had been "withholding weapons and ammunitions" from its close ally over the "past few months." The Israeli leader implied that this was hampering his military's ongoing offensive in Gaza, now focused on the southern city of Rafah.

"We genuinely do not know what he is talking about. We just don't,” White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said as she maintained that only one shipment of heavy bombs had been paused since the war began, while billions of dollars of arms have continued to flow into Israel.

The White House denied reports it had canceled a high-level meeting with Israeli officials on Iran after being enraged by Netanyahu's accusation. A White House official told NBC News the details of the meeting had not yet been finalized, "so nothing has been cancelled." But they said meetings with Israeli officials were being held throughout the week "on a range of topics."
