New tensions between White House, Israeli PM

New tensions emerged between the Biden administration and Israeli PM Netanyahu over claims of withheld US weapons. The White House called Netanyahu’s comments “disappointing” and “vexing,” emphasizing continued US support for Israel. The dispute centers on a shipment of 2,000-pound bombs under review. This adds to existing tensions over Gaza operations and concerns about escalation in Lebanon. The Gaza conflict remains a complex issue for Biden’s administration and re-election campaign. AFP
