Earlier this week Prime Minister Netanyahu called out the Biden administration for withholding the tools of war from Israel. Below is the brief video of Netanyahu’s statement. Netanyahu adds more in an interview yesterday with Jake Sherman. Punchbowl has posted the transcript of Sherman’s interview here.
The betrayal of Israel by Biden is as unsurprising as it is disgraceful. Yet it is compounded by the lying about it. According to Biden et al., they don’t know what Netanyahu is talking about. The White House is perplexed by Netanyahu’s claims.
Something’s happening here. Michael Doran makes clear what it is in the Tablet column “The Italian strike.” The Free Beacon’s Adam Kredo explains here. Senator Tom Cotton followed up on Kredo’s story. Netanyahu called out Biden because the administration is withholding critical weapons and ammunition.
Sen. Tom Cotton to President Biden: "You claim that the only hold or delay is on the 2,000-pound and 500-pound bombs you refused to deliver earlier this year. But you’re deliberately misleading the American people and insulting a key ally."
