US envoy Amos Hochstein told Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in a meeting on Tuesday in Israel that his public comments this week that the US is “withholding weapons and ammunitions to Israel” were “unproductive” and “more importantly, completely untrue,” a senior US official told CNN.

In that same meeting, US Ambassador to Israel Jack Lew also reiterated to Netanyahu that his comments were not correct, walking through all of the arms the US has transferred to Israel in recent months, according to two senior US officials. A spokesperson for the US Embassy in Israel confirmed that Lew spoke with Netanyahu on Tuesday. The spokesperson reiterated that “with the exception of ongoing discussion regarding large diameter munitions, other items are either delivered or in the process of being delivered, or in the normal review process.”

Axios first reported on the exchange between Hochstein and Netanyahu.

The meeting reflected the administration’s mounting frustration with the Israeli leader’s comments. Another senior administration official told CNN that the public statement from the Israeli prime minister was “perplexing” and “wrong.”

Well, except for the 2,000lb bombs that they desperately need to hold off Helbollah while eliminating Hamas.

Bibi is 100% correct and telling the truth.

The US is withholding weapons shipments.

And they're lying to your face about the fact.

[Skywise]

I recall Biden proudly proclaiming he was holding up weapons shipments until he got some concessions from Israel to get a cease fire.

Imagine:

100 January
100 February
100 March
100 April
0 May
0 June

The Israelis can count and read a calendar - and spot a lie.

[Note: Ukraine may be getting them instead.]

[Lumper20]

True. Biden is a liar. The last person this nation needs as our President is a liar. What have Biden and his boss Obama done for America that is positive?

[silent majority rising]

Ukraine is getting them. And the tragedy is that Israel pays for them. Ukraine doesn’t. And Biden is draining the US Supplies of military ordinance and fuel. We are headed for a disaster of Biblical proportions. And I mean biblical.

Given that Biden’s statements have a 99% rate of being untrue (that’s LIES for we folks who had real educations), it’s highly probable that what he said about Netanyahu is...wait for it... untrue. Eff you, Biden, eff your family, eff anyone that’s touched you, eff your entire cabinet and their families. Oh, and the teachers that taught you, your churches, even your toilets....

[After Hours]

LOL! Thanks, I really needed that,

JACK LEW!!! Say no More! An insider dem weasel crook- Clinton and Obamaumao admin. He pulled a real fast one—will have to look that up.

Jack Lew is a major reason— a Benny Gantz type of opportunist. So Naturally the Senate approved him. Remember when he was Treasurer after the disaster Goldman Sach jerk Geithner who paid no taxes saying he thought he didn’t have to. Geithner and then Jack Lew.

[sheik yerbouty]

Everything that comesout of the mouth of Biden is a lie!

[WeaslesRippedMyFlesh]

So, CNN confirms everything Netanyahu said was 100% accurate.

There is no reason for Israel to publicly call out the Us if it wasn’t true. They had to know the little pinheads would retaliate and lie to the press.
