Netanyahu tells U.S., ‘Give us the tools, and we’ll finish the job’

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said President Joe Biden is withholding weapons amid the war against Hamas as his country is “fighting for its life,” an accusation the White House denied.

In an English-language video statement released Tuesday, Netanyahu said he told U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken during his visit to Israel last week that he appreciates Washington’s support but that it’s “inconceivable” that weapons or ammunition have been held back in the past few months.

While the U.S. paused one shipment of large bombs, the White House denied any other weapons are being withheld.
