Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu renewed his criticism of President Joe Biden's administration, stating that U.S. military aid is arriving in Israel slowly. Netanyahu told "Punchbowl News": "I raised this issue with Secretary of State Antony Blinken. I said that our defense officials told us that hardly a little comes."
Netanyahu added: "Well, everything is in the works. We are doing everything to untangle it and remove the obstacles. Well, that is what I expect to happen; let's ensure it happens, it is something that must happen."
In the interview, Netanyahu mentioned that they "are starting to see that we are facing some significant problems that emerged months ago," explaining that he tried to address the issue during "many quiet talks."
He also noted that the ratio of Palestinian civilians to militants killed by the Israeli army is "almost one to one," adding: "People said we cannot enter Rafah because tens of thousands of civilian casualties would occur. Do you know how many civilian casualties there have been? The Chief of Staff told me, 'Using the word tens.' We have killed around 600 terrorists in Gaza. Are they tens? Are they a little more than that? This ratio is still the lowest in recorded urban warfare."
