Israeli Ambassador Michael Herzog has voiced strong discontent over the U.S. decision to publicly announce that it will withhold certain weapons from Israel.
It was 'unacceptable' that the U.S. decision to withhold some weapons from Israel became public while the two governments still were discussing Israel's planned offensive into the Gaza city of Rafah, the Israeli envoy to Washington said on Thursday. The U.S. pause on some arms supplies to Israel 'sends the wrong message to Hamas and to our enemies in the region,' Israeli Ambassador Michael Herzog told a Carnegie Endowment for International Peace webinar a day after U.S.
Billions of dollars worth of U.S. weaponry remains in the pipeline for Israel, despite the delay of one shipment of bombs and a review of others because of U.S. concerns their use in Rafah could wreak more devastation on Palestinian civilians. The U.S. has said it has not seen an Israeli plan to protect the estimated 1.4 million Palestinian civilians in Rafah, most of them displaced by fighting from other parts of the devastated Gaza Strip.
