Holdup of US missile shipment reportedly resolved
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleA holdup in the US supply of Hellfire missiles to Israel has been resolved and the incident “is behind us,” Israel’s Channel 10 news quotes a senior Israeli official as saying on Thursday night. The official says Israel has been assured that the suspension of the sale “was just bureaucracy.”
The unconfirmed report did not specify when the weapons would be delivered.
The news came a day after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu hailed American support for Israel during the ongoing war against Hamas, noting that he spoke almost daily with Secretary of State John Kerry, and had held four calls with President Barack Obama since the conflict erupted 45 days ago.
