Washington: The White House has cancelled a major meeting between American and Israeli security officials in Washington, DC, after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu blasted the Biden administration for halting arms supply to Israel, according to a new report.<\/p>\n
The White House cancelled the high-level talks to send a message to Netanyahu that such remarks against the Biden administration were not acceptable, Axios reported, citing two US officials. \u201cThis decision makes it clear that there are consequences for pulling such stunts,\u201d one US official told the outlet.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, a top Israeli official agreed to the report, stating that \u201cthe Americans are fuming. [Netanyahu\u2019s] video made a lot of damage.\u201d<\/p>\n
This comes after Netanyahu in a video stated that Israel, the staunch ally of the US, is fighting against the common enemies, including Iran.<\/p>\n
\u201cSecretary Blinken assured me that the administration is working day and night to remove these bottlenecks,\u201d he asserted following his meeting with the top US diplomat. \u201cI certainly hope that\u2019s the case. It should be the case.\u201d<\/p>\n
He further criticised the Biden administration for \u201cinconceivable\u201d withholding of weapons and ammunition supply to Israel.<\/p>\n
According to two American and Israeli sources, Biden\u2019s senior advisors were infuriated by Netanyahu\u2019s video, which US ambassador Amos Hochstein personally conveyed to the Israeli PM in a meeting just hours after it was released. Subsequently, the White House took a more drastic measure and called off the meeting for Thursday.<\/p>\n
The meeting was called off when several Israeli officials were already on their way to Washington.<\/p>\n
A third US official stated that a schedule conflict resulted in the meeting being postponed rather than canceled.<\/p>\n
The White House publicly expressed its surprise over Netanyahu\u2019s remarks. Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre pointed out that billions of dollars\u2019 worth of weaponry had poured through without hindrance, with only one weapons supply having been stopped since the war\u2019s commencement. \u201cWe genuinely do not know what he is talking about,\u201d she stated.<\/p>\n
One US official claimed that Biden\u2019s staff was astonished and incensed over Netanyahu\u2019s lack of gratitude.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Biden\u2019s top aides called off the strategic dialogue on Iran that was supposed to involve the Pentagon, and American intelligence agencies and their Israeli counterparts.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
