Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has publicly criticized the United States for a significant slowdown in the provision of military aid to Israel. Netanyahu stated that there has been a dramatic decrease in the supply of armaments from the US, leaving a large mass of weapons undelivered. The delay in arms shipments, which began four months ago, has strained US-Israel relations and left Israel exposed to threats from Hezbollah. Netanyahu has appealed to the US to expedite the delivery of the delayed shipments, emphasizing the critical timing and sensitivity of the situation.
