The US has cancelled a strategic meeting with Israel after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu criticised President Joe Biden’s administration for delaying arms shipments to Israel, Anadolu Agency reports according to Israeli newspaper Haaretz.
“It’s inconceivable that in the past few months, the administration has been withholding weapons and ammunitions to Israel,” Netanyahu stated in a video posted on X Tuesday.
“The meeting was set to take place in Washington on Thursday and was set to focus primarily on the progress of Iran’s nuclear program,” Haaretz reported.
“Instead of the delegation that was supposed to travel to Washington, led by Strategic Affairs Minister Ron Dermer, there will only be a meeting between National Security Council head Tzachi Hanegbi and US National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan,” the daily reported, citing a senior Israeli official.
