Netanyahu claims Biden made HUGE mistake withholding weapons from Israel in ... trends now
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says that President Joe Biden is making a mistake delaying a shipment of bombs to his country to help fight their war against Hamas.
The president, last week, delayed the delivery of 3,500 bombs to the U.S.'s Middle East ally. It was the first time he used his executive power to influence Israel's approach to its war.
Speaking to Dr. Phil on his primetime talk show Thursday, Netanyahu is clearly not happy with the president's actions.
'I've known Joe Biden for many years, 40 years and more. We often had our agreements, but we've had our disagreements. We've been able to overcome them. I hope we can overcome them now,' Netanyahu said.
Biden on Wednesday said U.S. bombs have been used to kill civilians in Rafah and that he would pause more arms shipments to Israel if Netanyahu launches a full-scale invasion.

However, Netanyahu remains committed to doing what he believes is best to win this war and issued a chilling warning.
'We will do what we have to do to protect our country, and that means to protect our future. And that means we will defeat Hamas, including in Rafah. We have no other choice,' he added.
Despite the pause, Biden reiterated his support for Israel in his interview with Erin Burnett.
'We're going to continue to make sure Israel is secure in terms of Iron Dome and their ability to respond to attacks like the one came out at least recently. But it's just wrong. We're not gonna - we're not gonna supply the weapons and artillery shells used,' he said.
He noted Israel has not launched a full-scale invasion yet - just crossed the border - but express frustration the invasion has cut off a crucial supply line via Egypt to bring in much-humanitarian aid to the Palestinian refugees in Gaza.
‘They haven't gotten in the population centers - what they did is right on the border and it's causing problems with - right now - in terms of Egypt, which I've worked very hard make sure we have a relationship and help but I've made it clear to Bibi and the war cabinet – they’re not going to get our support if, in fact, they go into these population centers,' he said.
Asked if Netanyahu has crossed the red line yet, Biden said: ‘Not yet but we’ve held up the weapons. We’ve helped up one shipment. It was an old shipment. We held that up.’
He also shared the advice he gave Netanyahu when he visited the prime minister in the days after the October 7th attack by
