Biden won’t make Netanyahu new offer on defense aid
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleA day before Vice President Joe Biden meets with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Jerusalem, the White House denies that Biden will make a new offer of defense aid to Israel.
“I will be clear about one thing – that Vice President Biden does not intend, and is not carrying with him the next offer in the negotiation over the memorandum of understanding about the United states providing military support to Israel,” says White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest. “There is a separate channel through which those negotiations continue to take place.”
Talks between the US and Israel over the 10-year defense package known as the Memorandum of Understanding are said to be stalled over the total amount of aid that will be provided to Israel.
