Israel reviews the resumption of arms deliveries after reductions in American support
The question of resuming the previous volume of arms shipments after a four month pause in American assistance to Israel is expected to be settled soon. This was stated during the weekly government meeting by Benjamin Netanyahu, who leads the government in Jerusalem. The remarks underscore the direction given by Israeli leadership to ensure a steady flow of equipment for the Israel Defense Forces, as reported by the state news agency.
Netanyahu noted that over the past four months some weapons have occasionally reached Israel, but ammunition supplies have frequently fallen short. He emphasized his obligation as prime minister to take all necessary steps to guarantee that the Israeli military receives the weapons it requires to fulfill its missions and maintain readiness.
Earlier, Netanyahu indicated that Israel and the United States were working to resolve serious issues surrounding the provision of American arms. He stressed that access to U.S. weapons remains essential for the country’s security posture and operational capabilities.
Observations from a Russian policy forum later touched on the longstanding dialogue between Israel and the United States. The discussions in that venue highlighted the intricate interplay of strategic considerations that shape how each nation views defense cooperation and regional stability.
