Netanyahu and White House Clash Over U.S. Weapons Support

TL;DR Summary
The White House, State Department, and Pentagon are confused by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's claim that the U.S. is withholding weapons from Israel. Netanyahu's accusation appears to stem from delays in a specific shipment of bombs paused by the Biden administration due to concerns over civilian casualties in Gaza. Despite this, the U.S. continues to support Israel's defense needs, including the Iron Dome. The situation is further complicated by escalating tensions between Israel and Hezbollah on the Lebanon border.
