An American news website has alleged that the United States has put a stop to the shipment of arms to Israel, raising questions about the dynamics of this crucial alliance.
The news website reported that American authorities intervened to halt the delivery of weapons destined for Israel, citing sources within the Israeli government. This move, reportedly implemented last week, marks a significant shift in US policy towards Israel.
While the White House has remained silent on the matter, Israeli officials have refuted these claims, asserting that American aid continues as usual. This conflicting narrative underscores the complexity of international relations and the delicate balance of power in the Middle East.
According to the American news outlet, this suspension of arms supply is unprecedented since October 7th, signaling a potential strain in the traditionally strong US-Israel relationship. This comes in contrast to the recent approval by the US House of Representatives for emergency aid to Israel amounting to $26 billion, including $14 billion in military assistance, as reported by Israeli media.
In the aftermath of the Gaza conflict, American support to Israel has seen a surge, both in financial aid and military assistance, reflecting the evolving geopolitical landscape in the region.
