The White House publicly condemned Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s allegations that the US is withholding weapons from Israel, calling them “deeply disappointing and incorrect.”
National Security Council spokesperson John Kirby said the White House was “vexed” by the allegations and expressed concern over Netanyahu’s motives.
Kirby confirmed that a meeting between US and Israeli delegations was downgraded as a result of the row, though National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan will meet with his Israeli counterparts to discuss issues including Israel’s operations against Hamas, continued support for Israel, and the importance of reaching a political agreement.
