New tensions emerged this week between President Joe Biden’s administration and Benjamin Netanyahu over the Israeli premier’s criticism of US weapons deliveries — comments the White House described Thursday as “vexing” and “disappointing.”

The issue began when Netanyahu claimed in a video posted on social media earlier this week that the US administration — Israel’s main military backer — has been “withholding weapons and ammunitions” from his country in recent months.

“Those comments were deeply disappointing and certainly vexing to us, given the amount of support that we have and will continue to provide,” National Security Council spokesman John Kirby told journalists.

“No other country is doing more to help Israel defend itself against the threat by Hamas and, quite frankly, other threats that they’re facing in the region,” Kirby said.
