Benjamin Netanyahu is known for his persistence and unwillingness to back down. Despite facing criticism for publicizing issues related to delays in weapon supplies from the United States, he stands firm in his decision. Netanyahu emphasized that after months of unproductive discussions, he chose to rely on his experience to address the situation head-on. His comments about President Biden and Secretary of State Blinken were met with skepticism from American correspondent Amos Hochstein, who deemed them unproductive and false.
This is not the first time Netanyahu has openly criticized the Biden administration, but the United States remains Israel’s most important ally and primary source of arms. While tensions exist between the two countries, especially regarding civilian casualties in Gaza, Netanyahu highlighted a significant decline in weapon supplies from the US about four months prior. Despite repeated requests for expedited shipments, the situation remained unchanged.
Against this backdrop, Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant stressed the importance of Israel’s relationship with the US ahead of his visit to meet with top American officials. Gallant acknowledged the crucial role the US plays as an ally and supplier of arms to Israel. He is expected to discuss Israel’s conflict with Hamas, efforts to secure hostage returns, and steps for regional stability during his visit. Additionally, Gallant expressed opposition to an independent Palestinian state post-conflict, aligning with far-right views within the Israeli government.
Gallant hinted at transitioning to a different phase in Gaza, possibly indicating a shift in military strategy or post-conflict planning. He aims to work closely with US officials on this transition, emphasizing cooperation between Israel and the US on critical issues. The statement reflects ongoing diplomatic efforts between the two countries amidst challenges and disagreements.
