The Truth about U.S. Weapons Shipments to Israel
(Israel Hayom) Nadav Shragai - In the ongoing dispute over weapons shipments from the U.S. to Israel, the Americans are obscuring the truth. Multiple shipments of various types of ammunition to Israel have been delayed since February - for four months. This far exceeds the single weapons shipment President Joe Biden mentioned. The delayed shipments include artillery, tank and air combat ammunition - weapons Israel has already paid for - as well as thousands of JDAM kits that convert unguided bombs into precision-guided munitions. Netanyahu accurately described the situation. He released a video criticizing Washington after months of quiet diplomacy failed to resolve the issue, which effectively froze weapons deliveries. The actual delays stem from State Department officials who are not processing the required export permits for these shipments to Israel.
