After the publication of the video in which Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu criticized the United States for "withholding weapons and ammunition," officials at the U.S. State Department confirmed to the Wall street Journal that there had been a decrease in the frequency of shipments, but not because they are being withheld. Rather, according to the newspaper, "American arms shipments to Israel have slowed since the early months of the war in Gaza because many of the previously ordered weapons have already been shipped or delivered while the Israeli government has put in fewer new requests." In addition, the sources emphasized that the White House is not preventing the arms shipments and on behalf of the Biden administration it was stated that there has been no change in policy.
