Amid recent tensions over arms delays, the Prime Minister’s Office of Israel announced that the US has confirmed ongoing weapon shipments are proceeding as planned. This assurance came after US Ambassador to Israel, Jack Lew, informed Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that despite claims of delays, the shipments are actively being delivered.
This development comes on the heels of strained relations following Netanyahu’s public criticism of the US administration’s handling of the arms supply. The controversy led to the cancellation of a high-level meeting between US and Israeli officials, which the White House later clarified had not been finalized, indicating efforts from both sides to mend the diplomatic rift.
The confirmation of weapon shipments underscores the continued strategic partnership between the two nations, even as they navigate through political challenges and regional conflicts.
