Netanyahu reiterates claim about U.S. withholding weapon shipments as Democrats grapple with attending his Congress address

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu appeared to double down on his claims that the United States has been withholding weapons deliveries for Israel's war effort in Gaza, despite the Biden administration denying the claim.

On Sunday, Netanyahu told his Cabinet that there was a "dramatic drop" in U.S. weapons about four months ago, without specifying which weapons. He said only that "certain items arrived sporadically but the munitions at large remained behind."

These comments come just days after he released a video in English last week after what he said were weeks of unsuccessful pleas with American officials to speed up deliveries.
