Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said that a row with the United States over weapons delays relating to the Gaza offnesive would be resolved soon, amid simmering tensions between the allies, AFP reports.
“About four months ago, there was a dramatic drop in the supply of armaments arriving from the US to Israel. We got all sorts of explanations, but [… ]the basic situation didn’t change,” he told a cabinet meeting.
“In light of what I have heard in the last day, I hope and believe that this issue will be resolved in the near future,” he added.
He said top Israeli officials lobbied their US counterparts at “the highest levels… at all levels” for speedier weapons deliveries. “After months of no change in this situation, I decided to give it a public expression,” he said.
