Netanyahu complains about problems with US arms supplies

18.06.2024, Israel.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu described as “unthinkable” the fact that the US administration has refused to supply Israel with arms and ammunition in recent months, the Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in a video message on June 18.

During US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken’s visit to Israel, Netanyahu thanked him for his support. However, moments when the administration refused to supply Tel Aviv with weapons the Israeli prime minister called unthinkable.

He reminded Blinken that Israel is fighting for its existence. With Iran and other common enemies with the US. In response, the Secretary of State assured Netanyahu that the administration is doing everything possible to ensure that there will be no problems with supplies.

Netanyahu recalled Winston Churchill’s words to America, “Give us the tools, and we will finish the job.” The Israeli Prime Minister called on the American authorities to give his country guns, and then the job will be finished much faster.

The Pentagon acknowledged in early May the delay in one of the arms shipments to Israel. President Biden threatened to stop supplying ammunition if the Israeli operation will be expanded in Rafah.
